{"product_id":"anagrams","title":"Anagrams","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter ten years of touring and secluded home recording, \u003cstrong\u003eStephen Steinbrink\u003c\/strong\u003e has cataloged several albums worth of gorgeous melody and quotidian dread in his stark, minimal pop. Yet the songs on his latest, \u003cem\u003eAnagrams\u003c\/em\u003e, beautiful yet unflinching portraits of addiction and mental illness are captured in his most meticulous and high-fidelity production to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile one might expect the record to be a final destination, a tidy hi-res apex of all his journeying, the album's particularly varied styles and sincere lyrical uncertainty portray a search that still continues. \u003cem\u003eAnagrams\u003c\/em\u003e finds him chasing melodies in the polished largesse of a proper studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnagrams\u003c\/em\u003e was intensely recorded over 2 years at Unknown, a retrofitted analogue studio in a lofty, de-sanctified church in the secluded island town of Anacortes, Washington. Assisted by engineer Nicholas Wilbur and featuring performances by members of Mt. Eerie, LAKE, and Hungry Cloud Darkening, Steinbrink's songs gracefully inhabit the vastness of the space in which they were recorded, effortlessly gliding between glacial grunge lurches, lush country movements, and succinct power pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most ambitious of Stephen's pop songcraft, \u003cem\u003eAnagrams\u003c\/em\u003e is ultimately an unpacking of identity. LP - Comes with album CD inside and is reverse board outer sleeve, printed inner sleeve and 180 Gram vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melodic","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50384724721995,"sku":"401876","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50384725508427,"sku":"401875","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/59163226-1a38-4532-8fef-964878a9bcf9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726302860","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/anagrams","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
