{"product_id":"glory-days","title":"Glory Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeather Leigh is a musical polymath in the truest sense of the word; primarily known as an influential practitioner of pedal steel guitar, her work is impossible to pigeonhole - all-over-the-place in the best way, from collaborations with Peter Brötzmann and Shackleton to a properly mind-bending duo of albums for Stephen O’Malley’s Ideologic Organ and Editions Mego - hers is a sound that’s both highly sensual and aesthetically aggressive, beautiful and fearless. Her \u003ci\u003eGlory Days\u003c\/i\u003e album for Documenting Sound has now been remastered and pressed on vinyl - and is, for our money - one of the most intangible yet open-hearted pop records of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed, performed \u0026amp; mixed by Heather Leigh \"at home with the window open” in Glasgow, \u003ci\u003eGlory Days\u003c\/i\u003e contains a shocking half hour of music; a 13 track opus that is, by any measure, nothing short of a modernist folk masterpiece. Recorded quickly and instinctively in April this year and described by David Keenan as sounding like \"a cross between Meredith Monk, DOME and A Guy Called Gerald\", it continues to reveal new dimensions with every listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayed on pedal steel guitar, synthesiser and cuatro, and featuring Heather Leigh’s voice throughout, the songs here capture a sense of physical longing wrapped in a boundless creative energy. What started out as hours of diaristic recordings quickly became honed and crafted into powerful and highly memorable songs - vast in scope and depth of feeling. It’s hard to fathom that these 13 songs were made on the hoof, they capture that most elusive of artistic qualities - an urge to continuously evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkat Editions","offers":[{"title":"Orange | LP","offer_id":50447345090891,"sku":"1111183","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9a6db0cd-00c0-4b82-9f2e-3de86e0a66f9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727076352","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/glory-days","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
