New Inara George album "Dearest Everyone" forthcoming (01/19/2018)

Slow Down Sounds is proud to partner with Inara George (1/2 of The Bird and the Bee) for the vinyl release of her new album, "Dearest Everybody". Produced by Mike Andrews with original artwork by Eric Ernest Johnson, this album is a song and sonic delight.

The video for the first single, "Young Adult" is in the banner above!

An Introduction To Inara George Playlist Link is below!

The lacquers were cut by Kevin Gray from the original 96/24 final mix files, plating and pressing at R.T.I., pressed on the best vinyl compound in the world (HQ-180), and housed in an Old Style Tip On double gatefold jacket from Stoughton Printing.

The records sound fantastic and the package looks and feels amazing!!!

A modern quintessential "LA" record. ***Price includes media mail shipping***

 

Here's another new song:

 

Pre-ordered mine last night.

 

Me too!

I still keep hoping for a vinyl release of "An Invitation"....

 

I also seem to recall reading (possibly on Inara’s FB Page) that The Bird And The Bee were working on a second volume of “Interpreting The Masters”.

 

She just posted on Facebook there would only be vinyl and digital downloads (no CDs or cassettes):

Hi All!! www.slowdownsounds.com is putting out the vinyl for my new album. It will be the only physical release of my record. So just vinyl and digital. They did such a beautiful job and take some much care in making their vinyl. Please check it out! And maybe preorder one while you're at it!

 

Inara George on her stirring new album and the family tragedy that once defined her

 

I had already ordered it (from Germany) and was surprised that shipping seemed to be included.
Yesterday, slowdownsounds mailed - they are sorry, but I should pay additional 17$.
I canceled. I'm sure it is a great album, and I love all her others... but 50 $ for 45 minutes of music?
I'm very disappointed that a professional company like them didn't think of international shipping earlier.
Now I have to go for the download

 

I received mine in today's mail and I am disappointed to find the cover has split seams on the top cover.

 

I was very disappointed with the sound of my copy. It seemed muffled/muddy throughout. It's not a sound I've experienced with any of my other vinyl. Any easy way to tell if it is a pressing issue vs. whether my needle has gone bad? I would expect if it was a hardware problem I'd hear it with some other album as well...

 

In follow-up to my post, Inara's people were nice enough to send me a replacement album cover. I am happy now!
