{"product_id":"living-theatre-lp","title":"Living Theatre [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe musical duo of Shane Butler \u0026amp; Caity Shaffer released their debut album as Olden Yolk last year, an alluring concoction of hypnagogic folk \u0026amp; kosmiche rhythms, expanding \u0026amp; refining Butler's work in his former band Quilt toward a more focused direction. The songs on \"Living Theatre\" were written \u0026amp; recorded during a heavy time of transition \u0026amp; upheaval for the duo, with personal tragedies and a big move from their NYC home to a warmer climate in Los Angeles coloring the album's inception. Musically, the duo's songwriting has gelled into a unified front, relying more on the subtle shifts of melody \u0026amp; rhythm than a barrage of chord changes; Living Theatre's hooks lap at your feet like a babbling brook, rather than bowl you over like violent waves. The refinement in tunes like \"Castor \u0026amp; Pollux\", \"Grand Palais\" \u0026amp; first single \"Cotton \u0026amp; Cain\" points to a new frontier for the group; soaring skyward toward the emotionally textural plateaus of trailblazers like The Go-Betweens or Yo La Tengo. There's a discernible romantic feel to tunes like \"Violent Days\" or Distant Episode's lush arrangements - Living Theatre showcases a band breaking free from it's chrysalis, and embracing it's next phase of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e241 D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Paradigm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton ; Cain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeadowlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastor ; Pollux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolent Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Ark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand Palais\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistant Episode 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngelino High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 630125982709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trouble In Mind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.17.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Olden Yolk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58293074657361,"sku":"662434","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3909966.jpg?v=1760748722","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/living-theatre-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
