{"product_id":"773871017117","title":"Faith Healer: Try ;-) (Vinyl LP)","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. When Edmonton's Jessica Jalbert first began performing solo under the name Faith Healer, the alias was her way of avoiding being pigeonholed as a singer-songwriter. Now, however, times have changed: Faith Healer has blossomed into a band, with singer-guitarist Jalbert joined by drummer\/multi-instrumentalist Renny Wilson and their first album as a duo is Try ;-). The follow-up to 2015's Cosmic Troubles was largely recorded during an intensive month-long session in September 2016 at Wilson's personal studio in Montreal. During the process, Jalbert rented a room in Wilson's house and the pair spent hours jamming and listening to bargain bin rock records in the basement. The resultant pop-rock arrangements are overflowing with beautiful sonic details-from the Twin Peaks synths that enshroud Sterling Silver to the funky clavinet nestled within the paisley-patterned pop of \u0026amp; Waiting. Jalbert and Wilson were also inspired by the garage-punk snarl of Wipers, the deadpan drama of Leonard Cohen's Death Of A Ladies' Man, and the classic songwriting chops of Scott Walker and Elvis Costello. The intensive creative process of making this album inspired the title and serves as a reminder that sometimes you need to grab life by the horns rather than waiting for inspiration to strike. As for that winky face: I always use that winky emoticon, Jalbert says with a laugh. I think it's hilarious. I think it's cheeky and fun, which is something I was trying to access a little more with this record. Balancing melancholy lyrics with playful moods, lush melodies with straightforward arrangements, this album is the sound of an introspective loner leaving her bedroom to make a rock record with her best bud.  ; Waiting, Light of Loving, Might As Well, Sterling Silver, Such a Gemini, Try ; -), 2nd Time, Sufferin' Creature, Best Saved for Last","brand":"Mint Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39577046155414,"sku":"773871017117","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3698653_6ec3d974-8d58-4baa-8057-1d596f3f276c.jpg?v=1704935326","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/773871017117","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
