The 88 Records a Full Song on an iPhone—And It Actually Kinda Rocks

by E. Christopher Clark | Thursday, July 2, 2009

During their recent stint touring as the opening band for The B-52s, The 88 decided to record themselves a new song almost entirely through an iPhone app. And the sock actually kinda rocks.

The app is called FourTrack, and the finished song, “Love is the Thing,” is available now via iTunes. The video I’ve embedded above shows the band recording the song, and you can also read about their process here on their Website.

This is just one more reason why I love this phone. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s getting there, and you really can do amazing things with it.
