{"product_id":"bender-john-plaster-falling-lp-5598500602","title":"John Bender - Plaster Falling [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited translucent blue vinyl LP pressing. Plaster Falling was recorded at the same time as John Bender's first album, I Don't Remember Now\/I Don't Want To Talk About It. Released in 1981 on the artist's own Record Sluts label, copies of Plaster Falling's initial pressing came hermetically sealed in plaster (and later latex). Thus, listeners had to literally break open the record to find what's hidden inside. Produced in relative isolation, Plaster Falling is a beacon of brilliance in the nascent minimal-wave sphere. Veering towards skeletal urgency, these recordings set bright analogue melodies against half-whispered vocals and expand Bender's electronic cryptography thru a series of lone signifiers: \"Station,\" \"Plaster,\" \"Women,\" etc. As Bender explains in the liner notes, \"I began to distance myself from the present and describe scenes as if in a movie - seeking concrete, terse, juxtaposed imagery.\" This first-time standalone reissue is recommended for fans of Gareth Williams and Mary Currie's Flaming Tunes, Minimal Man and Grouper.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43b6 Station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42b4 Plaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e39a4 Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45a2 People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e39a5 Something\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35b5 Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34b1 Knuckles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38a1 Cities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45a1 Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"39","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786560999720,"sku":"85598500602","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3495230.jpg?v=1763991518","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/bender-john-plaster-falling-lp-5598500602","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
