Austin indie singer-songwriter David Israel performs and signs copies of the 20th Anniversary Edition of his album 'These Are the Clothes We'll Wear When We're Old'.
David Israel plays Waterloo Records on Friday, July 31, for an in-store performance and record signing. He's an Austin indie singer-songwriter known for a deep, reassuring baritone and what he calls 'outsider pop' songwriting—contemplative songs that don't always follow the standard pop map. The set is built around the 20th Anniversary Edition of These Are the Clothes We'll Wear When We're Old, which is the record he's celebrating here.
That album first came out two decades ago, and this anniversary edition marks its first pressing on vinyl. If you've only ever heard it on CD or digital, this is the first time you can put it on a turntable. The performance and signing are tied to that release, so you'll hear the songs from the record live in the store, and you can get your copy signed afterward.
Israel's work sits in that quiet, thoughtful corner of indie pop, and the baritone voice is a good place to start if you're trying to pin down the sound. It's the kind of songwriting that asks for a bit of attention rather than something to have on in the background. Since the whole thing is centered on These Are the Clothes We'll Wear When We're Old, the set should lean heavily on that material, bringing back songs from twenty years ago for a room full of people in the store.
