{"product_id":"630125982709","title":"Olden Yolk: Living Theatre (Vinyl LP)","description":"\"The 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.\"  241 D, Blue Paradigm, Cotton ; Cain, Meadowlands, Castor ; Pollux, Violent Days, Every Ark, Grand Palais, Distant Episode, Angelino High","brand":"Trouble in Mind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36480133726358,"sku":"630125982709","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3909966_d6a70284-e979-45fe-8ab3-031e1386fbac.jpg?v=1705020023","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/630125982709","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
