William Eggleston

• GATEFOLD DIGIPACK EDITION

William Eggleston is a photographer and musician credited for iconic album covers such as Spoon's 'Transference' and Jimmy Eat World's 'Bleed American'. '512' was inspired and recorded in Memphis, Tennessee where Eggleston lived for almost ten years.

By recording there the album captures not just his performances, but also the vibe of the place. His visitors over the years were no small change: Lee Friedlander, Carl Sagan, Dennis Hopper, Paul McCartney and many others came to see him and listen. Eggleston also captured sounds of local traffic, a dog barking and weather sounds. The album features the Brian Eno on bells and production from Leo Abrahams (Regina Spektor, Paul Simon, Jon Hopkins)
