{"product_id":"dead-meat-vinyl-lp","title":"Dead Meat: Vinyl LP { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrouble In MindLondon group The Tubs return to Trouble In Mind with their hotly anticipated full-length album entitled “Dead Meat”. The band were formed in 2018 from the ashes of beloved UK post-punk band Joanna Gruesome by former members Owen 'O' Williams and George 'GN' Nicholls. By incorporating elements of post-punk, traditional British folk, and guitar jangle seasoned by nonchalant Cleaners From Venus-influenced pop hooks and contemporary antipodean indie bands (Twerps\/Goon Sax, et al).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Dead Meat” is resplendent in hi-fidelity strum \u0026amp; thrum, incorporating fleeting elements of post-punk and indie jangle, but the group’s penchant for trad British folk \u0026amp; Canterbury folk-rock takes a noticeable, caffeinated step forward. Echoes of Fairport Convention’s decidedly English chime cross swords with singer Owen Williams’ lyrics directing Bryan Ferry’s “thinking man’s libertine” persona into a more dolorous outlook. Many songs (like “Round The Bend” and “Duped”) soar with an urgent strum under Williams’ acerbic lyrics, recalling a younger fiery Richard Thompson. They languish in an aching, bitter resignation (of both the situations described \u0026amp; the protagonist’s place in it), particularly near the album’s second half. Others like the previously released “I Don’t Know How It Works”, “Two Person Love” and “Illusion” (re-presented here as “Illusion Pt. II” and all rerecorded from their original 7-inch versions) up the urgency, implying that the journey for the person described in each tune is not over \u0026amp; may be even more desperate than before. The band has never been tighter \u0026amp; more dynamic, often imperceptibly ratcheting up the tension, an extra guitar strum overdubbed, a barely audible organ\/synth cranking under a chorus or bridge, or unexpected backups from current Ex-Vöid (and ex-Joanna Gruesome) vocalist Lan McArdle. The Tubs are poised to take over your stereo - there’s no point in resisting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tubs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57432155685195,"sku":"TIM173LP","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/image_of_TIM173LP.png?v=1779703587","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/dead-meat-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
