{"product_id":"slug-ripe-cd-506014609526","title":"Slug - Ripe [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSLUG is a brand new musical venture from the mind of Ian 'Blackie' Black a merrily disruptive influence on the North East music for more than a decade. The debut album 'Ripe' was co-produced with Peter and David Brewis of Field Music at their studio in Sunderland, with the brothers adding occasional drums, synths and percussion to Ian's elaborate home-brewed constructions. Ian appears to have consumed and spat out film music (proggy Italian horror, Lynchian twanging), Erik Satie, Zeppelin-esque knotty riffing, snippets of synth-heavy disco, post-punk's more dub-centric excursions and even a smattering of Hall \u0026amp; Oates' new wave blue-eyed soul. The vocals vary from high and sweet four-part harmonies to sinister whispers to a spiteful rasp which wouldn't seem out of place on a particularly grumpy Roger Waters demo. It also manages to be very funny, partly due to the surreal, imagistic lyrics and partly from the unexpected moments of musical audacity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrimacing Mask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCockeyed Rabbit Wrapped in Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSha La la\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEggs and Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreasy Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake Your Loose Teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight of Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning To Get Past Your Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeng Peng\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKill Your Darlings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt Least Show That You Care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50792223605032,"sku":"506014609526","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2840879.jpg?v=1763992879","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/slug-ripe-cd-506014609526","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
