{"product_id":"kate-nv-wow","title":"Kate NV - Wow","description":"\u003cp\u003eKate NV’s \u003cem\u003eWOW\u003c\/em\u003e offers listeners a prismatic shift in perspective and scale, a parallel dimension in which the mundane becomes funny, unfamiliar, and altogether sensational. Turning the contents of her 2020 album \u003cem\u003eRoom for the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e upside down and spilling them across a floor checkered with intrigue and surprise, Kate places sound, object, and ritual under the microscope to magnify the delight hidden in plain sight of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWOW\u003c\/em\u003e is Kate Shilonosova’s fourth full-length release as Kate NV in six years, and third for RVNG Intl. Her prolific musical output aligns with a highly attuned aesthetic and a deep commitment to visual world building. \u003cem\u003eWOW\u003c\/em\u003e is one of many of these worlds in which music is fully saturated with color, deeply tactile and textural. Shiny, sproingy, plastic. Where \u003cem\u003eRoom for the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e embraced structure (abstractly speaking) and veered pop, \u003cem\u003eWOW\u003c\/em\u003e happily abandons conventional song shapes, parsing the experience of musical time into ecstatic fragments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt’s difficult to imagine a more fitting album title: pure exclamation, an organic pitch of delight leaving the mouth, with no clear etymological links. On \u003cem\u003eRoom for the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, Shilonosova’s voice was layered and lyrical, with sweeping and urgent melodies. \u003cem\u003eWOW \u003c\/em\u003efinds her as a peripheral purveyor of high jinks, peeking out from the corners, commenting on her surroundings in non-verbal, and arguably non-human, utterances. Instead of employing lyricism, Shilonosova steps outside of language, and rewards us with a gum ball machine of textures: soda fizz and wind-up teeth and scraps of bubble wrap become comically huge, as if heard from an insect’s perspective. Words are tasty plosives, onomatopoeias, percussive chirps and one-liners, and singing serves as another form of what Shilonosova refers to as “funny tiny sounds.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on yellow vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322865529209,"sku":null,"price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/Screenshot2023-01-31at14.13.33_db891da8-9729-40d6-9b60-825dc08b8b5d.png?v=1787903662","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/kate-nv-wow","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
