Notes

500 Chains is a collection of music and storytelling (an "audiobook") composed & arranged by Ben LaMar Gay, featuring artwork by A. Martinez.

Seven pieces of animated, dynamic & melodic, colorful quartet music that sound, to our ears, like Andre 3000 (the balladeer) backed by a Mardi Gras marching band channeling Chicago style post rock & free jazz...

...featuring Ben LaMar Gay (on cornet, synth, voice & flute), Will Faber (on guitar, ngoni, synth, fretless 12-string guitar & flute), Josh Sirotiak (on tuba & flute), and Tommaso Moretti (on drums & flute)...

...buffered by 8 story stanzas narrated by Ben LaMar Gay that illustrate the "audiobook" experience of 500 Chains.

500 Chains is 1 of 7 previously-unreleased back catalogue albums included in the source material for Ben LaMar Gay's "Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun" compilation (IARC0017).

Shipping & Returns

Orders ship from our Chicago warehouse. In the US, records and other media go out via USPS Media Mail with tracking. We also ship to Canada and most other countries; any customs duties or import fees are paid on delivery. Posters need special packaging, so they have their own shipping rate.

Shopping from the UK or EU? Please use our international store. It ships from warehouses in Europe and the UK with VAT included and usually no import fees, and it's often faster and cheaper for other countries too.

Anything ordered together with a pre-order ships when the pre-order arrives, so place a separate order if you'd like in-stock items sooner. Print-on-demand merch is made to order and ships separately.

If something arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, email orders@intlanthem.com with your order number and a photo and we'll make it right.
