With a new emphasis on atmosphere and more straightforward composition, Gulfer give themselves space to explore audaciously. Album opener \"Clean\" gets as close to pop as the band has ever been, where \"No Brainer\" dabbles deftly in downer rock that asks \"what even is my fucking place in the world?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bold juxtapositions feature elsewhere on Third Wind: pop-punk bruiser \"Too Slow\" stops on a dime before evolving into a slow burning drum n bass passage, all within two minutes. And then there's \"Heartshape\", a downright love song shrouded in virtuosic performance and electric-acoustic counterpoint. Although these contrasts could be construed as aimless fiddling, their seamlessness is the true essence of Third Wind, indicative of a sage band with a renewed love for what they do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Topshelf Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50427184218443,"sku":"2190990","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_a8452798_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726822656"},{"product_id":"what-gives","title":"What Gives","description":"\u003cp\u003eHailing from Montreal, Gulfer have been on constant rotation on the BSM office stereo for months now, so we''re delighted to be giving their brilliant record What Gives its first ever vinyl press.
