{"product_id":"talk-talk-laughing-stock-vinyl-lp","title":"Talk Talk: Laughing Stock Vinyl LP { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinal studio album from the UK's Talk Talk.\u003c\/i\u003e You might be most familiar with Talk Talk's \"It's My Life,\" a fine single in its own right, but their late career output took an entirely different track. Flush with the cash from the success of their early career they were able to experiment more freely in the studio. \u003ci\u003eLaughing Stock\u003c\/i\u003e is largely the work of vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eMark Hollis\u003c\/strong\u003e and producer \u003cstrong\u003eTim Friese-Greene\u003c\/strong\u003e, as the other members of the band had left by this point. The duo explore strains of rock, jazz, classical, and ambient music as they had on their previous album, \u003ci\u003eSpirit of Eden\u003c\/i\u003e. Where they dipped their toes into a pool of experimentation with that album, \u003ci\u003eLaughing Stock\u003c\/i\u003e is their vision fully realized. Hollis uses his voice more like and instrument than a delivery vehicle for declarative vocals while the instrumentation floats by, simple and repetitive. This is not the Talk Talk of 80s videos, it's a more contemplative and soothing affair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Polydor 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Wilted Lilly 01\/2016\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Talk Talk","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":57431639327051,"sku":"lp-7411","price":4.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/talktalk-laughingstock.jpg?v=1779697576","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/talk-talk-laughing-stock-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
