{"product_id":"life-slime","title":"Life Slime","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLife Slime\u003c\/em\u003e is the sixth full-length album by Pictish Trail (AKA Johnny Lynch) - a strange, tender, psychedelic electro-pop record shaped by transformation, exhaustion, hope, guilt, and renewal. Written at home on the Isle of Eigg and recorded at Mike Lindsay’s studio down in Margate (Tunng \/ LUMP), the album follows 2022’s critically acclaimed \u003cem\u003eIsland Family,\u003c\/em\u003e further refining Lynch’s world of lo-fi electronics, warped pop melodies, baggy psych rhythms and emotionally direct songwriting. It’s a record that balances woozy synth-pop, motorik propulsion and intimate acoustic songwriting, all infused with the emotional messiness that gives the album its title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the album’s singles — the guilt-stained psych-pop ballad ‘Hold It’, the life-affirming shimmer of ‘Infinity Ooze’, the late-night confession of ‘Torch Song’, the expansive eight-minute centrepiece ‘Another Way’, and the cinematic closer ‘Werewolf Ending’ — Life Slime charts a journey from emotional fracture to uneasy release. ‘Sorry Eyes’ brings a punchy electro-pop strut with a sharp emotional edge, ‘Crystal Cave’ drifts through crystalline guitars and shoegaze haze into transformation, and the title track ‘Life Slime’ moves with a slow, weary swagger toward bittersweet acceptance. Together, these tracks form a cohesive album statement about surrender, resistance, change and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Hot Chip, The Flaming Lips, Liars, Mercury Rev, Beck, John Grant, Empire of the Sun, Grandaddy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Toxic Lagoon Blue","offer_id":56285447881035,"sku":"R9311-2815","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56285447913803,"sku":"R9311-1959","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Toxic Lagoon Blue \/ A3 Map","offer_id":56881120248139,"sku":"R9311-8340","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PictishTrail-LifeSlime.jpg?v=1768213295","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/life-slime","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
