{"product_id":"big-in-the-suburbs","title":"Big In The Suburbs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe album centres on the monochrome mundanity but also the unsung beauty of the suburbs; a collection of picture-perfect, alt-pop vignettes, in which regular lives are often quietly on the brink of going berserk. For his debut album - all written and self-produced by Welly himself - this rich tableaux of British life is celebrated for all its tragedies and triumphs. Here are songs about wanting more than you have, a world in flux, doomed romance, and figuring out how to be happy where everybody knows your name (and your Mum's).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Welly has been building his creative province all year with a series of singles in the run-up to \u003ci\u003eBig In The Suburbs\u003c\/i\u003e. First single 'Shopping', for instance, pays tribute to the dying UK high street and today's grass-is-greener mentality, setting out the group's blueprint for Pop on a budget. 'Soak Up The Culture' meanwhile both sends up and adds to the canon of the lost, the Lads-On-Tour Anthem, with lawnmower-themed love-triangle 'Deere John' connecting a story arc with 'Cul-De-Sac' (and the stasis of two people at a romantic dead-end road). With inspiration ranging from the parochial storytelling of Blur or the intellectual electronica of Pet Shop Boys to kitchen-sink noughties bangers like Girls Aloud, Welly show early ambitions to reconnect the great, grassroots British tradition with the mainstream bands once beamed straight into your claustrophobic living room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vertex","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50826099392843,"sku":"2232465","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50826098606411,"sku":"2232463","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0a53e8d9-9efd-4a6d-8332-70f01a19a77f_36db033b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731497386","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/big-in-the-suburbs","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
