{"product_id":"silk-for-the-starving-ep","title":"Silk For The Starving EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalder Valley’s The Lounge Society release their Dan Carey-produced debut EP\u003ci\u003e Silk For The Starving\u003c\/i\u003e - out on Speedy Wunderground (Squid, black midi, Loyle Carner, Black Country, New Road). With their first two singles under their belts – \"Generation Game\", the fastest selling 7\" for the award-winning label, and \"Burn The Heather\" – plus a raft of Ones To Watch accolades for 2021, there is much anticipation for what lies next for the band. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn early 2020, \"Generation Game\" announced the band as artists shaping powerful narratives around a fast-fragmenting society. With the lyric “what will the US do?” they served up a painfully prescient prediction of American unrest. Follow-up single \"Burn The Heather\" made a left-hand turn for the more punk-funk, sneering at culture wars and the damaging impact of a class divide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew single \"Cain’s Heresy\" shakes with the propulsion of a nimble rhythm section, full of bite and scorn, simultaneously swinging angrily at a negligent political class (\"The death of four souls is less than a kick in the teeth, for them\"), the threat of misinformation (\"Poisonous ideals on the screen breed a vicious way of thinking, off the screen\") and the noxious follow-the-leader march of celebrity culture (\"They’re servants to fame\"). The EP title \u003ci\u003eSilk For The Starving\u003c\/i\u003e in itself probes at a society that routinely neglects the needs of the have-nots. The Lounge Society sing about what they know then. Make no mistake, this is the sound of young England: articulate, enraged and energised. And – perhaps crucially - highly danceable too. It should give hope to anyone who has lost faith in the future, because here the future is in safe hands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speedy Wunderground","offers":[{"title":"Black | 12\"","offer_id":50501645795659,"sku":"1114892","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/07e2ce2b-ead8-44d1-b5cf-f843e25b2744_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727785857","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/silk-for-the-starving-ep","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
