{"product_id":"pure-x","title":"Pure X","description":"\u003cp\u003ePure X is the last band, has always been the last band. Not that there won’t be future acts, more that Pure X understands that all this pageantry, this \u003ci\u003ecivilization \u003c\/i\u003eis wrapping up. It burned hot and bright like thermite used to bust a safe open, but now is the age of radiating waves, each one buckles the foundation more than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt would be understandable to express such forbidden fatalism in a brittle, harsh nihilism, the stark echo of a stone rattling down an endless well. But on this album, their fourth and first in six years, there is a pre-dawn kindness. It may be funereal, but it is a Viking pyre ablaze in the middle of a river, one of those moments when the water seems to pause and reflect the clouds blooming like smoke from an invisible glass pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded live in the bucolic Texas Hill Country, this is their clearest, most focused work. The rhythm section is locked in--a night train through the desert. There is more singing, the weary wisdom of the lyrics ringing like Tibetan bowls. In 38 minutes, Pure X weave a culmination, all the delays and distortion, the grinding mortar of touring, the low-tide pulling them out from a cult band, to a legacy band, it’s here, understood and forgiven. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album is a guide, it will comfort you through this long bruised twilight. It’s time to leave the fantasy, to play the game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Firetalk","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454159327563,"sku":"1095519","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50454160638283,"sku":"1095520","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4639484e-19c7-4a3e-9201-29c690fef4be_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727181645","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/pure-x","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
