Elvis Costello follows Spy

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Elvis Costello is only releasing his new album, Momofuku, on two formats: vinyl and digital download.

No CDs.

The Atlanta band Spy did the same with their terrific, self-titled debut in 2005, produced by Steve Albini. Unlike Elvis Costello, Spy didn’t charge for the download — only the vinyl.

After a line-up change, Spy changed its name to East Orange. They plan to record again with Albini this year.
