{"product_id":"in-love-again-2","title":"in Love Again","description":"\u003cp\u003eEx-Vöid - featuring Lan McArdle (Joanna Gruesome, Lanny) and Owen Williams (The Tubs) - return with their second LP: \u003ci\u003eIn Love Again\u003c\/i\u003e. Joined by Laurie Foster (bass) and George Rothman (drums), the record sees the band flourish from a chaotic power punk group into a fully fledged pop behemoth. Taking in elements of shoegaze (Pinhead), country (Outline), 90s indie rock (In Love Again) and pretty much the entire history of guitar music, \u003ci\u003eIn Love Again\u003c\/i\u003e reveals McArdle and Williams to be true students of perfect pop. The pair have been collaborating for a decade now, having played in Joanna Gruesome as teenagers, and \u003ci\u003eIn Love Again\u003c\/i\u003e sees them both building on the sound they’ve honed together and embracing a new, unapologetic attitude towards songcraft. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We wanted to stop being cringed out by the idea of writing pop music. We’re a bit older now and not trying to remind everyone we come from hardcore\/DIY scenes. It’s still there in our DNA but we wanted to see what might happen if we write the biggest bangers possible” says Williams. Backed by the tight-yet-raucous rhythm section of Foster and Rothman, In Love Again delivers as a huge pop album without sacrificing any of the hardcore propulsion that characterised the band’s first album. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Ex-Vöid sound is the sublime blend of McArdle and Williams’ vocals: close, folk- indebted harmonies which guide the listener through an onslaught of hooks. And while this is utilised to full effect on \u003ci\u003eIn Love Again\u003c\/i\u003e, the album also sees McArdle make full use of their vocal range. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50494428545355,"sku":"2224379","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50494428840267,"sku":"2224380","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465099153739,"sku":"2224378","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image007_11cf0d8d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727281405","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/in-love-again-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
