Looks like, two years after the Playwrights Horizons production, Jenny Schwartz and Todd Almond's Iowa is getting a cast album through Yellow Sound Label! I've always wanted a recording of Todd's gorgeous theatre music.
There's an image on the website that says it's available for preorder, but I can't find any way to order or any other information for that matter. Anyone else know anything about this?

Just bought it this morning on iTunes. I haven't heard a score quite like this one... Todd Almond's music is gorgeous, particularly Coastal Erosion and the fantastic I Am a Hawk. I feel like I need to read the script to fully follow the album (though I know the show is particularly absurd)... For instance, there are some arresting moments in Oratorio but the track, at nearly 17 minutes, made me feel a bit impatient not having the story itself as a reference point.
Regardless, I love this quirky, unapologetically weird, stunningly beautiful album. The final song haunts me.
