{"product_id":"flat-worms-antarctica","title":"Flat Worms - Antarctica","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Antarctica’ is the third Flat Worms album in the past four years. It reflects a situation that’s dire but not hopeless. Since the release of their 2017 debut album - even since last year’s ‘Into The Iris’ mini-LP - the sound of the trio has hardened, with the polarities of psych and post-punk smelted into a brutal cobalt alloy. No doubt they’re aided by the Steve Albini-engineered sound rendered at Electric Audio, where the album was recorded and mixed (in collaboration with Steve Albini and Ty Segall) in six days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rest of the evolution is down to Flat Worms, whose world view and musical viewpoint pulse with a remorseless drive and a sense of collaborative unity. Will Ivy’s cortex-scorching guitar leads are in united space with the full-body rhythm of Tim Hellman’s bass and Justin Sullivan’s drums. Their social comment, bleak, yet earnest, is leavened with bone dry humour (the title track’s isolation conundrums: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“My dog is smiling as I drive her to the park \/ we sit together in the kitchen after dark \/ I ask her questions \/ She just barks”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and caustic pronouncements; a vision of the chaotic, dysfunctional contemporary landscape that recalls the tragicomic expressions of 100 Flowers and the indefatigable recitations of The Fall. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322660827513,"sku":null,"price":15.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/flat-worms-antarctica-south-records-ltd_0c71c94c-84b7-47d2-a78f-42a2a1436b7d.jpg?v=1787902926","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/flat-worms-antarctica","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
