Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson – Chicago Waves (Vinyl)
Los Angeles residents, composers and multi-instrumentalists Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson flew to Chicago to contribute to the Makaya McCraven album Universal Beings. They were so inspired by the city, and Lake Michigan, that it spawned an LP - Chicago Waves.
The 2018 live performance marked another beautiful turning point for International Anthem. The set was recorded at our then HQ, Co-Prosperity, the day after Niño and Ferguson performed as part of Makaya McCraven’s Universal Beings ensemble to celebrate the release of his album by the same name and recreate their contributions to the music on the record’s “LA Side”.
The release of the recording as the Chicago Waves album at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic drove home the unmistakable sound of togetherness audible in its grooves in a way that only a society trapped in their houses for a year can truly understand. But as that year fades further into the rearview mirror, Chicago Waves still maintains its power. It’s not a mystery—this is what togetherness sounds like.

Tracklist:
A1 Part I
A2 Part II
A3 Part III
A4 Part IV
B1 Part V

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
