VIA PRESS RELEASE | Independent Project Records (IPR) announced the release of a decades-spanning various artists compilation titled The Well, featuring many rare and unreleased tracks from the label’s vaults, as well as music from forthcoming releases, out now on Special Edition double CD.
For more than four decades, Independent Project Records has embodied what true independent record labels should stand for. This is its past, present and future rolled into two albums-worth of genre-defying, utterly unfettered music.
You’ll find them living together, post-punk and ambient, psychedelia and desert surf rock, dream pop and goth rock, well-traveled singer-songwriters and young college students with a penchant for bedroom pop: it speaks to and of the unique vision and relentless drive of both IPR and its artists that The Well plays not like a mishmash but like a coherent, endlessly fascinating statement.
New revelations are to be expected with each listen—this compilation promises to mesmerize, electrify and stupefy lifelong fans and newcomers alike.
The two-disc, forty-one song collection of genre-defying tracks features many previously unheard songs from IPR artists such as Barry Craig (A Produce), Camper Van Beethoven, David J, Lanterna, Middle Class, Savage Republic, Scenic, Shiva Burlesque, and more, as compiled by IPR co-owner and founder Bruce Licher.
