Welcome to the first issue of Tracing The Lines, a creative exploration of International Anthem Recording Co, and the community that surrounds it. In these pages we're going to try to shine a light on some of the corners of the catalog and dig into the people and personalities contained within. It won't be complete -how could it be?- but hopefully that's even more intriguing We're not tracing straight lines here, and there's nothing wrong with a little bit of mystery. Not for the curious.

What you're holding in your hands is an attempt to make a publication that we would actually want to read. Something fun-yet-substantial instead of an extended RIYL blurb. We want to think about and talk about music & art as an essential element of our history, to acknowledge our place in that continuum here in the present, and to contextualize the ways in which the artists we work with do just that. All with an eye on The Future.

A lofty goal, but we've gotta aim for something, right?

Love,

David Brown & IARC
