{"product_id":"olden-yolk-living-theatre-vinyl-lp","title":"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.","brand":"Olden Yolk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972831432879,"sku":"630125982709","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/olden-yolk-living-theatre-vinyl-lp","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
