WILLIS EARL BEAL - ACOUSMATIC SORCERY (LIMITED EDITION LP)

Willis Earl Beal Acoustmatic Sorcery on Limited Edition LP

Acoustmatic Sorcery is the debut album from Willis Earl Beal, to be released courtesy of XL Recordings. The album’s 11 songs are taken from a series of recordings Beal made while living in Albuquerque, NM. He arrived in Albuquerque without a plan, a place, or enough money to live off and began singing warm, visceral and moving tunes to help him cope while sleeping rough. He spent days drawing and printing up flyers, distributing them all over his new city. Eventually Beal found work as the night porter at a motel. It was during the late-night shifts that the 27-year-old musician from the south side of Chicago taught himself to make music. As the Summer came to an end, Willis plotted his journey back to Chicago. While he traveled across America he continued to receive phone calls as the flyers made their own journey. One caller introduced himself as Mos Def and together they plotted to write a script based on Willis’ life, with Mos playing the lead. Limited edition vinyl of only 1,500 copies.
