BILL CALLAHAN – YTIA – 2LP – Vinyl

2LP-Black Vinyl

From the beautiful to the jarring, intrepid explorer Bill Callahan charts a passage through all kinds of territory, pitting dreams of dreams against dreams of reality. When he makes it back to us, his old friends ‘n acquaintances, we are reminded how much of a world it can be out there – and in here as well, where we live everyday.

And were coming out of dreams / And were coming back to dreams is the first thing you hear Bill say as you remake your acquaintance on YTIA. Right out the gate, hes standing in two places at once: meeting up with old friends behind the scenes and encountering them on the record, finding himself coming round the bend and then again as someone else on down the line. Like the character actor he played on Gold Record, writing stories about other people, telling jokes about everyone, and in singing them, becoming the songs.
