Sam Outlaw - Popular Mechanics (New Vinyl LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. The ambitious direction of Popular Mechanics may seem like a sudden shift from Outlaw”s country-leaning albums, Angeleno (2015) and Tenderheart (2017), which garnered appearances on CBS Saturday Morning”s Anthony Mason, NPR, The New Yorker, Wall Street Journal and more, but the gears actually started turning in early 2018 after Outlaw shelved some new material he recorded in Southern California. Following his cross-country move to Music City that same year, Outlaw found unexpected inspiration during a visit from his father, a mechanical engineer, and it prompted him to shift his focus to the technological side of music creation. The epiphany came when he connected industrial machines with the role technology plays in recorded music. Growing up on the hits of the ”80s, an incredible time of transformation in music history, he remembers everything came into focus for the album once he envisioned the title, Popular Mechanics.
