Description
After thinking hard about how to best share this album with the world, BK&TC arrived at the concept of releasing A Sparkle Road Cult as an Art Book Album.
The book includes the entire album in sheet music form, a fullcolor art page for each song, and a CD. It's a timely innovation and a meditation on how we consume music, or as Koontz elaborates: I kept thinking about releasing and archiving music beyond recorded versions "the songs themselves. I got excited about doing the physical album in a way that was thematically relevant to the material and highlighted the cinematic and narrative aspects so a book made sense, art pages as visual environments made sense sheet music made sense. . . buying fake books and sheet music singles from the record shop was how I first started learning to play. And I like that it adds an opensource element the formula is laid out for anyone to access, so it glances back to the giveandtake that's so ingrained pop music all music, really.
