{"product_id":"810096659279","title":"Dessa: Tough Call, Camelot (7-Inch Single)","description":"\"The merch line at a Dessa show often contains people with lyrics tattooed on their forearms or ribs or shoulder blades. The strength and quotability of her lyrics-from rap punchlines to elegantly tooled extended metaphors-is a hallmark of Dessa's work. \"\"Camelot\"\" is one of the few explicitly political songs in her catalog. In 2 minutes and 53 seconds she sketches the contours of a troubling American zeitgeist, delivers a chorus that's both haunting and catchy, and comments on the tendency of consumer culture to breed apathy (That's the thing about the lap of luxury - the lap of luxury can't stand up). \"\"Camelot\"\" calls attention to the irreconcilability of two facets of the national self-concept: a) America is a miraculous shining city on a hill; and b) the neighbors are dangerous and crazy. The song doesn't scold or preach, which was important to Dessa who says, \"\"I hate being lectured. I assume most listeners do too. This song doesn't aim to teach anybody anything-I think most of us know better already. It's about trying to rally the nerve to act on our best impulses. \"\"\"  Tough Call, Camelot","brand":"Doomtree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51554667725090,"sku":"810096659279","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/files\/4477817-3497689.jpg?v=1776659702","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/810096659279","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
