{"product_id":"human-again-1","title":"Human Again","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Bryan Ferry’s side on stage for the past decade to lighting up your night sky with a neon symphony, Jorja Chalmers’ debut album \u003ci\u003eHuman Again\u003c\/i\u003e is here…Beware!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2004 Jorja Chalmers moved to London from Sydney, Australia with zero cash, her saxophone and a massive crush on an English boy she met while he was visiting Australia. Fast forward 3 years later… Bryan Ferry’s assistant caught Jorja performing at a nightclub in London. The next day she received a message inviting her to audition for his band. She met Ferry at his studio, played some Roxy Music tunes and as anyone who has caught one of Ferry’s live shows of the past 10+ years knows, has been a salient addition to his band ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHuman Again \u003c\/i\u003ewas written and recorded by Jorja in hotel rooms after performing Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry songs drenched in sweat each night. Finishing touches were added \u0026amp; distilled inside Ferry’s London studio and then brushed by Johnny Jewel’s glittering hands with Dean Hurley at the legendary Asymmetrical Studio in the Hollywood Hills. The combination is intoxicating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHuman Again\u003c\/i\u003e bottles that stark loneliness the artist faces night after night on the road. Sonically, the album explores the spaciousness alive inside the minimalism of Bowie and Eno’s \u003ci\u003eLow,\u003c\/i\u003e her vocal reflects early Laurie Anderson alongside the troubled smoke of Badalamenti’s score for Lost Highway, and the impeding doom of Goblin. Chalmers embraces the claustrophobia of a John Carpenter film cut with the patience and precision of Amon Duul. The quest to be \u003ci\u003eHuman Again\u003c\/i\u003e is to be a stranger in a strange land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRed Light\u003c\/i\u003e metal machine magic grinds as a wish is granted. The saxophone wails, humming a new strain of serpentine song. The triggered, vast descent of \u003ci\u003eSuburban Pastel\u003c\/i\u003e unfurls as the landscape expands the mystery. This is visual music that slowly coils its wings around the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJorja’s pale blue eyes glance across the vivid landscape. Suspended in reverie, bathed in sound, adrift until the tidal brass of \u003ci\u003eThis Is Where The Night Sky Begins\u003c\/i\u003e calls the dreamer back down to earth. As the needle drops again, the petal soft synthesizers sprawl toward the event horizon, hypnotized by the distant call of the Siren. Visions of intimacy and sentient contact triggered by endless weeks on tour. The human heart of a Saturday night still beating on Tuesday morning. The album’s closing track\u003ci\u003e Ship In The Sky\u003c\/i\u003e is the heroine’s journey into the unknown, without a compass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italians Do It Better","offers":[{"title":"Pink | LP","offer_id":50498709651787,"sku":"1084366","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498709848395,"sku":"1084365","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/859b73ea-d805-4ce2-bcd3-86714499d928_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727754782","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/human-again-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
