{"product_id":"articulation","title":"Articulation","description":"\u003cp\u003eRyan Lee West aka Rival Consoles releases his highly anticipated new album \u003ci\u003eArticulation\u003c\/i\u003e, released on Erased Tapes. \u003ci\u003eArticulation\u003c\/i\u003e, the lead track and album centrepiece, links the record back to the analogue fluidity and colour of 2016’s\u003ci\u003e Night Melody\u003c\/i\u003e. The division of varying time signatures, intertwined with a complex structure of notes, creates an expression of a moving structure and conjures a dreamy motorik energy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea of using analogue drawings and tools to bolster digital creations can be heard in the structure of the pieces that make up \u003ci\u003eArticulation\u003c\/i\u003e from the broody techno opener \u003ci\u003eVibrations on a String\u003c\/i\u003e all the way to the album’s boundless closer \u003ci\u003eSudden Awareness of Now\u003c\/i\u003e. While the anthemic rise and fall of\u003ci\u003e Still Here\u003c\/i\u003e and the beatless ambient meditation \u003ci\u003eMelodica\u003c\/i\u003e evoke a certain nostalgia, \u003ci\u003eForwardism\u003c\/i\u003e achieves the very opposite by burying its melody within the fast-paced rhythm of its pulsating synths. Rising out of birdsong heard from his studio window, \u003ci\u003eSudden Awareness of Now\u003c\/i\u003e has a particular urgency about it and seems to perfectly capture a longing for escape. Built around a simple and repetitive melodic theme, expanding and retracting over the course of its seven-minute odyssey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50429566681419,"sku":"1099702","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5a4b4165-d8bd-4e6d-bf5b-b36476e68827_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726840230","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/articulation","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
