{"product_id":"mid-air","title":"Mid Air","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMid Air\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinarily intimate record, its spare piano and vocal-based arrangements unfurling at a meditative pace. Thirteen of its fourteen tracks are less than three minutes long, but rest assured all life is here. Buchanan's beautifully bruised voice remains a faithful conduit of all things emotive, and \u003ci\u003eMid Air\u003c\/i\u003e was written from a place of humility and wee-small-hours contemplation. Says Paul: \"i think if i'd tried to make a record that sounds like the band i'd be quite nervous, but this is more of a record-ette. it's quite small in stature and the songs are very brief, but don't get me wrong - it kept me awake at night.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuchanan also concedes that, in some ways, he is \"continually re-writing the same song\", chipping away at the themes that have absorbed him from day one. 'far above the chimney tops \/ take me where the bus don't stop\" he sings here on 'My True Country'. Naturally, such starry-eyed sentiments will chime with fans of the Blue Nile's charmed 1983 debut, \u003ci\u003eA Walk Across the Rooftops.\u003c\/i\u003e At root, these beautifully smudged miniatures represent a still more potent distillation of all that has made Buchanan's past work so special. \u003ci\u003eMid Air\u003c\/i\u003e - his little 'record-ette' as he calls it - is wonderfully big of heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Newsroom","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50461349577035,"sku":"1155110","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50461348462923,"sku":"351143","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50461350363467,"sku":"351142","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/eed09a07-e9d5-42a1-b6e3-b03fefef8b02_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727247158","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/mid-air","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
