Elvis Costello announces novel method for releasing album
The Line Of Best Fit
Elvis Costello is to release a new album, not a reissue, on April 22nd through Lost Highway in the US of A. To be called Momofuku it’s to be released in a rather novel manner. At least initially.
At first it will come out on vinyl only, with a digital download code inside. But it will be supported with a tour, his support slot on The Police U.S. dates…
Since Elvis Costello is always a busy man, he will also celebrate the world premiere of Nightspot, a Twyla Tharp ballet he scored, on March 28th at the Arsht Center in Miami. On March 31st we’ll get a new “session” from the Coward Brothers, Costello’s partnership with producer T-Bone Burnett. It’s a “live studio recording of the soundtrack for a stop-frame animation feature adapted from the James Ensor painting, ‘Christ’s Last Entry Into Brussels’.”
Now then… Costello’s website goes onto explain that the above Coward Brothers album, Henry and Howard’s Last Entry Into Brussels, will also be distributed in a non-traditional manner: “U.S. edition of record will be released on a state-by-state basis, in alphabetical order. Due to problems with piracy, only one copy will be manufactured for issue in each state or international territory. Individual copies will be encoded with the new, KNARP discriminators and secreted in the racks of selected stockists. Those discovering each unique disc will be free to do with it as their conscience draws it.”
Right. Got that?
