SIGNED VINYL GIVEAWAY! Rufus Wainwright – Out Of The Game [LP]

rufus-ootg-cover

Rufus Wainwright has just released his seventh studio LP Out of the Game. The album is a result of his recent collaboration with friend and producer Mark Ronson. It showcases a mature Wainwright with some of his most honest and intuitive song work to date, with songs being rooted in recent life experiences and personal relationships. The genre-blending album of 70s inspired songs was developed among the two collaborators over a period of six months, followed by an inspiring recording session that tracked 16 songs in just eight days. The album features live takes from musicians out of Ronson’s all-star rolodex as well as appearances by The Dap-Kings, Sean Lennon and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

B3SCI has an autographed vinyl copy of Out Of The Game for one of you lucky, mad-b3scientists out there. Just email us saying you’d like to be entered into our drawing for the album. That simple, and we will pick our winner at random this weekend. Good luck.
