{"product_id":"dumb-it-down","title":"Dumb It Down { vinyl }","description":"Dumb it Down\" is the fifteenth solo LP by Eric Copeland of Black Dice, released in 2020 by Post Present Medium, who also released Eric's first solo LP in 2007. Nimble, persuasive, and brisk, these ten songs bounce along with a charm and directness that's entirely unprec- edented in Eric's 20+ year career. The evocative, carnival loops that have defined his solo work for the past decade are joined here by the organic warmth of a nylon string guitar and breezy vocals that make no attempt to hide the laughter behind the words. It's captivating, and Eric's sense of catching and holding attention has truly never been stronger than on this record-he's chatty and sly, direct yet never exposed. An interviewer once asked Eric what his lyrics were about. \"You know, he replied, \"like the blues.\" The unprecedented clarity of \"Dumb It Down\" proves it true. Rooted in everyday life, these songs dart between enthusiasm and resignation, a deeply relatable contradiction of spirit. While this tension could derail a lesser record, Eric uses it to his advantage, con- structing songs that feel casual and unrelenting in equal measure. It's the balance found in \"Louie Louie\" and \"Sex Bomb\" and really only two or three others. In the alternate reality where Flipper is the most revered band of the 20th century, Eric Copeland's \"Dumb It Down\" is the music buskers play in subway stations.\tUS\t\t1. Dumb It Down 2.

The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge� superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Crover, from the Melvins' sleepy drum caveman. Four songs of gloomy heaviness, with Dale doin' the drummin', singin', guitarin', and dancin'. The third in the series is Joe Preston, from the Melvins' electronic beard warlord. Three songs of fuzz bass computer drone temper tantrum.

In 1968, Guaraldi made a label switch from his long-time home, Fantasy Records, to his new label, Warner Bros. Records. For his inaugural album, he decided to re-interpret his Peanuts classics on Oh, Good Grief! In addition to the instantly recognizable Guaraldi sound of piano, bass, and drums, this time he added electric guitar and electric harpsichord to the mix. The record was a smash hit. Now, for it's 50th anniversary, Omnivore Recordings is proud to present the album the way the world first heard it - as stated on the original album's back cover, \"on shiny black vinyl.\" Well, actually, this special pressing is \"on shiny red vinyl!\" Mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI with the original art and a tip-on jacket, this timeless album has never sounded or looked better.

Created as a dialogue with the avant-garde and highly experimental work in dance, theatre and art evolving at the time, the music was in turn at times greatly innovative.That it was created for a dance or performance though means that such music was also often highly rhythmic and a number of pieces from this time stand out and seem greatly deserving of a new context.Whether it's more ambient or atmospheric works or whether it's in the more rhythmic or percussive pieces, Music From Memory brings together a selection of tracks which aim to highlight this highly innovative direction in music.\tUS\t\t1.

In addition to Vini's trademark guitar stylings, the album showcased sleek electronic textures and programmed beats. This 2019 vinyl re-master features two bonus tracks: My Only Love was originally released in 1995 on a covermount CD with a specialist guitar magazine, while experimental piece The New Fidelity was issued on a Portuguese compilation album from 1992 called Hare, Hunter, Field. Limited to just 1000 copies, this special double disc edition pressed in clear and blue vinyl features brand new cover artwork by Crepuscule design director Benoit Hennebert, based on a portrait by Vini Reilly of filmmaker Carol Morley.\tUS\tLimited Edition\t1.

At the time, it seemed inconsequential, just a passing comment amongst friends, but in the end, it would prove to be a monumental revelation, one that would change the acclaimed New York duo forever. \"In the past, I'd never brought my own music to the table because I was just too shy,\" says Follin, \"but at some point during the sessions, I mentioned that I'd been writing some songs on the side, and our producer, Shane Stoneback, asked me to share them.\" \"When Shane and I heard what Madeline had written, we couldn't believe it,\" says multi-instrumentalist\/singer Brian Oblivion. \"The music just floored us.\" What followed was a radical reimagining, both of the band's sound and it's dynamic, and the result is Cults' utterly mesmerizing new album, 'Host.' Written more collaboratively than ever before and recorded primarily with live instruments for the first time, the collection marks the start of a bold new chapter for the band, one fueled by an ever-deepening trust and a boundless appetite for growth and experimentation. The songs here are deceptively charming, with lush, airy arrangements that belie their dark, weighty lyrics, and the production is rich and multifaceted to match, blending retro and futuristic palettes into a spellbinding swirl of high-def indie rock and lo-fi bedroom pop. As it's title suggests, 'Host' is an exploration of the sinister dynamics at play in a parasitic relationship, but rather than dwell in the discomfort, the record charts a cathartic journey towards freedom and self-reliance, reveling in the power that comes from standing your ground and declaring independence in the face of exploitation and manipulation. \"Writing these songs helped me learn to be okay with putting myself out there, with having the confidence to express what I want and what I won't accept when it comes to personal relationships,\" says Follin. \"In a funny sort of way, the music helped me find my voice in the band, too.","brand":"Eric Copeland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53862978650449,"sku":"795853950885.0","price":3.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6721\/3905\/files\/3834037-2576684.jpg?v=1779779990","url":"https:\/\/vinylgroove.shop\/products\/dumb-it-down","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
