The album finds the band at their full creative tilt, delivering Classic EMF! The band is re-united with Ralph Jezzard, who produced their worldwide hit \"\u003cem\u003eUnbelievable\u003c\/em\u003e\" and their first 2 albums (\u003cem\u003eSchubert Dip\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eStigma\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"We produced another set of classic songs about our lives and the world in 2023 inspired by our favorite sounds from the past, present, and future. We mixed together James Atkin's techno synths, Ian Dench's punk guitar, heated it to 200 degrees with Stevey Marsh and Aid Todd's groovy rock rhythms, iced it with Derry Brownson's maniacal sampling, and popped it in a box of Ralph Jezzard's sonic excellence. Unwrap and enjoy!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMF\u003c\/strong\u003e describes \u003cem\u003eThe Beauty and The Chaos\u003c\/em\u003e as \"Auditory Glory and Stories\". The album's themes are perhaps bigger and more political than previous releases, covering immigration, protest, climate change, and our place in the universe. The album explores changing attitudes, addiction, soured friendships, but also includes classic EMF songs about our love of partying and the dance floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis energetic and diverse album features 10 finely crafted songs, with the opening track and first single \"\u003cem\u003eHello People\u003c\/em\u003e\" setting the tone with its indie groove and its call to stand with tolerance against the hate-myths of immigration. A further 9 songs take the listener on a musical rollercoaster embracing Techno punk (\"\u003cem\u003eReach For The Lasers\u003c\/em\u003e\"), Nasty Northern Soul (\"\u003cem\u003eRead The Room\u003c\/em\u003e\"), Swampy Electronica (\"\u003cem\u003eI've Been Down\u003c\/em\u003e\"), Prog Punk (\"\u003cem\u003eStardust\u003c\/em\u003e\"), and Trip Trop gospel (\"\u003cem\u003eLookout Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e\"), before the psychedelic \"\u003cem\u003eDo It Again\u003c\/em\u003e\", a song about trying to grow up but failing, closes this sumptuous debut album in the best possible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD album features two bonus tracks; a remix of the first single \"\u003cem\u003eHello People\u003c\/em\u003e\" featuring the great Stephen Fry and a remake of the Monkees cover 'I'm A Believer'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMF Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50398502355275,"sku":"2170996","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50398504091979,"sku":"2171001","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_39d58bfc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726496451","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-beauty-and-the-chaos","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
