{"product_id":"connections-midnight-run-lp-71144700841","title":"Connections - Midnight Run [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing of this 2016 release. Connections came out of Columbus, Ohio, at a rush, releasing two stellar LPs and several singles in their first year. They felt like the wind rushing through the open window of a car hurtling down the highway at 90 MPH. In the second year, they firmed up their sound and shook off some of the bedroom-lo-fi-Oh (as in Oh-hi-O) for the almost radio-friendly Into Sixes, which earned the band continued praise in Pitchfork, AVClub, Stereogum and more. And like the previous two records, Into Sixes wound up on a plethora of \"Best Of\" lists (Village Voice, Still Single, etc.) as well as on the pages of ESPN. Midnight Run kicks the murk of basement four-track recordings from the soles of the five members' collective shoes with the sound of two guitars that growl as if they are echoing out of the propellers of a B-12 bomber. After the gentle hiss for the opener \"Raise Awareness,\" which echoes the early power pop of the Shoes or Cars played through a 1987 Mustang's tape-deck, \"Month to Month\" shatters the windshield as singers Kevin Elliott and Andy Hampel stand atop the chorus like they just conquered a Two-for-Tuesday slot on your local classic rock station. From there, the record rolls over the speakers with a great band getting greater, flexing sinewy guitar with Hampel's and Elliott's majestic melodies. From the continued sing-alongs of \"Kate and Everyone Else\" and \"Chorus Got Laid\" to the nervy-clappy twist of \"Lisa\" (chorus: \"Lisa, you're so Lisa\"), Midnight Run finds Connections matching a sound as big as their propensity for melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaise Awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonth 2 Month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeapons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost Of Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGross Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll In All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbcde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Late For Heartbreak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Lisa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoore\u0026amp;#39;s Nautilus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn From Cincinnati\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFourth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"39","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50558773952808,"sku":"71144700841","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3363203.jpg?v=1763983004","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/connections-midnight-run-lp-71144700841","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
