Everything Is Recorded - Temporary (Exclusive Red Vinyl)

Temporary is the third studio album from Everything Is Recorded, the collaborative music project centred around producer Richard Russell. Temporary features an incredible roll call of collaborators including Sampha, Bill Callahan, Noah Cyrus, Florence Welch, Maddy Prior, Jah Wobble, Kamasi Washington, Rickey Washington, Roses Gabor, Jack Penate, Samantha Morton, Nourished By Time, and more.

Created over four years from 2020 to 2024, Russell rebooted his musical DNA: while his music had previously been about rhythm, words, and melody in that order, on Temporary he swaps rhythm and melody, the rhythm taking up less space and the melody coming to the fore. Musically, some songs are inspired by the sonic thought experiment "what if folk music had "gone digital" in the 1980s, just as reggae had?", while spiritually and lyrically the themes encompass grief and loss. Every song sounds washed in sunshine and graced by tenderness. In Russell's own words "making the album was joyous, a way of hallowing life".

Exclusive RED vinyl produced by XL Recordings in 2025.
