{"product_id":"only-up","title":"Only Up","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnly Up\u003c\/em\u003e is the second album by producer and artist Josh Korody (Nailbiter, Beliefs). Enlisting performances from Tess Parks, Cadence Weapon, and an array of Toronto music scene members, including Orville Peck, Tallies, Vallens, Zoon, Sauna, Fake Palms, Rapport, Praises, Civic TV, Moon King, Blonde Elvis, For Jane, Ducks Ltd, TOPS, and Broken Social Scene, \u003cem\u003eOnly Up\u003c\/em\u003e sees Korody channeling three decades of anthemic British bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the angular guitars of late 70s post-punk (\u003cem\u003eGang Of Four\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWire\u003c\/em\u003e) to the lush gloom of 80s electro-pop (\u003cem\u003eTears for Fears\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOMD\u003c\/em\u003e) and the dance floor psychedelia of the Manchester sound (\u003cem\u003ePrimal Scream\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHappy Mondays\u003c\/em\u003e), Korody's influences are diverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally tasked with making this album, Korody and his long-time music collaborator Kyle Connolly (Orville Peck, The Seams) quickly threw down ideas in a session. However, with Connolly embarking on a world tour and Korody's demanding schedule at his Candle Recording Studio, the project sat unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomehow, by the album's delivery deadline, Korody not only orchestrated a creative ensemble of friends and collaborators, but also wrote, recorded, and mixed the entire album in two weeks without any regrets or compromises. Korody reflects on the process, saying, \"It was the best way I could have done it. A strict deadline to make decisions, move on, and focus on things that matter the most. Every decision was made in that headspace.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe also acknowledges the potential pitfalls of technology in music production, noting, \"The ease of technology to endlessly tweak with... can sometimes destroy records until there is no soul in it, no happy accidents, and it's completely sterile. You can have a well-produced record without going down that dark rabbit hole.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hand Drawn Dracula","offers":[{"title":"LP - Yellow","offer_id":50454108537163,"sku":"1129940","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454108111179,"sku":"1129939","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a2816bab-3f1d-44ff-aef4-e2f93820889d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727181007","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/only-up","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
