IVC’s March Vinyl: Billie Eilish ‘WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?’

For the fifth Interscope Vinyl Collective release, Billie Eilish unleashes her critically beloved debut LP. Recorded in her Los Angeles childhood home with producer brother FINNEAS, Eilish’s blend of dark pop, skittering hip-hop and glitchy electronic became the bridge from SoundCloud phenomenon to global superstar.

On WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, Eilish seamlessly blends the classic vocal phrasings of jazz and pop chanteuses with the sardonic, confessional lyricism unparalleled in modern music.

Few besides Eilish could pull off the ostensibly paradoxical mix of intensely relatable and playfully sinister. The gorgeous melancholia of “when the party’s over” and elegiac “i love you” intertwines effortlessly with the ukulele-hop of “8” and the greatest sample of The Office in music history. Billie’s debut album would go on to become one of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling albums of the year, with more than 24 billion streams globally to date and Diamond certification for “bad guy”. She won Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs, making her the first woman and the youngest artist in history to win all four general field categories in the same year. This limited edition release comes in an eco-friendly re-usable outer sleeve and features a gatefold jacket, exclusive glow in the dark album artwork, and 2 lithograph inserts. It is pressed on ECO-MIX recycled vinyl in various shades of blue. ECO-MIX is 100% recycled compound made of trimmed flash and left overs from any color which cannot otherwise be reused. With ECO-MIX, every disc will look different from the last.
