Coyotes lap at its trickling stream by moonlight, as pedestrians rush past it by day without a second glance, their thoughts tangled up in the distractions of life in a sprawling metropolis. Here, amongst the many avenues and gentle hills, we find Coffin Prick (alias: Ryan Weinstein).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLoose Enchantment\u003c\/em\u003e, this latest Coffin Prick record, is music conceived of in a different frame of mind for humans living in a world nearly-disenchanted with itself. The album consists of eleven new pieces of music recorded by Coffin Prick himself at his home in Los Angeles, a great city of quicksand-like commitments and those who love them enough to uphold the ends of their collective bargains. A record as much about the confusion of modern life as it is endeavored to expose the lusts in the very loins of creation. Sounds enchanting enough for you? Let’s look a little more closely…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffin Prick primarily records on his own, though occasionally receives great collaborative assistance from a sometimes-silent and shadowy partner, Pancho. When the time is right, he leans on a host of harmonically sympathetic luminaries that exist in and out of his immediate musical community. These musical endeavors implement elements of the technologically advanced and the undeniably broken. Equally informed by the not-so-distant past as imaginary future scenarios, his ongoing recorded life continues to mine this deep well. Not so much a “solo” performer as an idea, Coffin Prick is a malleable form whose potential is concurrently cemented and unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the heels of 2023’s \u003cem\u003eLaughing\u003c\/em\u003e (Sophomore Lounge), Coffin Prick got busy. And fast. Playing shows into the year with a newly minted live band, while simultaneously working day and night in his home studio laying the ground for what would become \u003cem\u003eLoose Enchantment\u003c\/em\u003e. Whereas he was essentially a recording know-nothing at the inception of his last LP, he’d learned a thing or two about better capturing his ideas by this point, taking the sidesteps and victories born of the experience Laughing provided and turning the bright lights on them. As many of Los Angeles’s drivers choose to do, it was time to take some surface roads. Odes to self-delusion, the mysteries of creation, cleanliness, and the secrets in other people’s lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eeaturing:Steven Brown (Tuxedomoon), Alejandro Salazar-Dyer (Rincs), Kathy Lea (Soft Location), John Herndon (Tortoise), Aaron Fernandez Olson (LA Takedown)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temporal Drift","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51940500472139,"sku":"R2122-2588","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_2409af26-012a-4269-8bde-530a661c601c.jpg?v=1748713478"},{"product_id":"jittoku-76","title":"Jittoku '76","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile Les Rallizes Dénudés often played in their hometown, fans always eagerly awaited their return to the old city.
