Unwritten Records - Vol 1

Unwritten Records is a music-making experiment anchored in the endless possibility of albums you’ve only ever imagined.

It’s inspired in part by the now-famous (at least for Deerhunter fans) anecdote about how Bradford Cox would write albums by his favorite artists before listening to them.

Each ‘unwritten record’ contains two pieces of stimulus for songwriting: album cover and title, and a track list. You can use either side or both as jumping-off point for music-making.

• Using the album cover and title: Capture the vibe or mood of the artwork in music. Write songs that feel like they belong on the album.
• Using the track list: Take a title and write your own version of that song. You can choose to make it feel like it belongs with the album art, or not.
