(it) is our grown up record. the first was about that great initial leap, the second was us exploring different waters. this one is us, all having met at one place, at one time. i think this record will change people's perspectives of the band.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50470593659211,"sku":"341860","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/725199f5-3fdf-43ec-b4a5-34c75b66f942_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727378831"},{"product_id":"strange-life","title":"Strange Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eHowling Bells return with there first new album in over a decade .
