Izzy True
Our Beautiful Baby World
In creating Our Beautiful Baby World (May 2021), the pacing of Izzy Trues songwriting process has slowed down since
their prior Don Giovanni releases -- Sadbad (2018) and Nope (2016). Arranging with Curtis and Sam, Reidy says theyve
grown as musicians together, and their songs were given space to grow, too. OBBW exhibits eleven rock songs of melded
collaboration, expressing the deepness of acceptance. These are the bands most dynamic compositions to date. The result
is, Reidy hopes, to "sound like a bad drawing of a rock record."
The inspiration for the soft-hard dynamics of OBBW may have come from Reidy listening to Thin Lizzy, along with the
bleeding of the band members strengths and histories: Curtis as a courageous experimental musician in the DIY circuit,
Sams expertise as a hardcore drummer, one Hallowen cover-set of System of A Down in a Chicago basement from another
world, and Reidys childhood growing up listening to old love songs and country music.
OBBW was recorded in Rock Island, IL at Rozz-Tox, a well-loved bar and music venue in the humble Midwest. Recorded and
mixed by Ian Harris on reel-to-reel, Izzy Trues tunes returned to tape after Sadbad, which was digitally produced. The
record utilizes the talents of Chicago music friends Jess Shoman (Tenci) on backup vocals and Andrew Clinkman (Spirits
Having Fun) on lead guitar on "Four Good Ponies". OBBW was recorded in the months before the pandemic, January and
February 2020, which can feel obvious ("I dont wanna hang out for a thousand years") and subtle. The authentic
limitations of reel-to-reel tape recordings give this project the aura of a time when live music was possible.
