Identikit is the second and final album by American rock band Burning Airlines, released in 2001. [2] In 2012, the German label Arctic Rodeo Recordings reissued the album as a marbled colour vinyl LP with enclosed CD in an edition of 700 copies (200 on white/blue, 250 on gold/white, 250 on red/black), with an added cover version of Sweet's "Action." [3]

Background and recording

The drum and bass parts on Identikit were recorded live. The album was recorded in two sessions, one at a studio in Baltimore with engineer John Agnello and one recorded by Burning Airlines frontman J. Robbins at Inner Ear Studios. [4]

Robbins has stated that the album's title, a reference to the investigative tool, was chosen because of "the suggestion that you could just put together a whole identity out of ready-made items." [4]
