I Am Very Far (Boxset)
‘I Am Very Far’ is a startling break from anything this band has
done before. The band’s Will Sheff emerges not only as a
songwriter of the highest caliber, but a producer and arranger
of singular vision. ‘I Am Very Far’ is monolithic and darkly
ambiguous.
Sheff contributed vocals to The New Pornographers’ album
‘Together’, wrote a song for Norah Jones’ ‘The Fall’, and helmed
the Roky Erickson record ‘True Love Cast Out All Evil’, for which
his album notes received a Grammy nomination.
Extremely limited wooden box edition (50
copies for the UK), which includes the vinyl record, full CD,
hardbound lyrics book, 7” (featuring two exclusive tracks from
the recording sessions), Faux handwritten letter from Will Sheff
and lasercut cards (intricate papercut done by laser; fragile
decorative piece).
