{"product_id":"eisbar","title":"Eisbär","description":"\u003cp\u003eOfficial reissue of \u003cem\u003eGrauzone\u003c\/em\u003e's essential 1981 maxi single with timeless classic \"\u003cem\u003eEisbär\u003c\/em\u003e,\" proto-techno beast \"Film 2,\" and romantic synth ballad \"Ich Lieb Sie,\" just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Swiss band’s formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-track vinyl is sourced from the original reels, cut at 45rpm, and comes with its iconic artwork on a 350gsm sleeve. \u003cstrong\u003eGrauzone\u003c\/strong\u003e's \"\u003cem\u003eEisbär\u003c\/em\u003e\" is the most recognizable title from the band, a sublime mix of ingredients reflecting the transitional era it comes from - the raw energy of punk music still palpable, combined with the audacity of early electronics, the warm groove of a disco gem, beautifully fragile lyrics, and one of the best basslines ever. It became a mega hit, totally unplanned, but how could you resist such a track?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Film 2\" is the ultimate b-side monster, a menacing all-instrumental pre-techno masterpiece, slowly building to a magnetizing frenzy. An instant underground favorite, it was famously heard played at both speeds depending on the scenes and DJs you were frequenting, 45rpm as it was first intended, and 33rpm for the cosmic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe maxi single ends with \"Ich Lieb Sie,\" a synth-pop meets doo-wop ballad, a true love song oozing with innocence. Simple, stylish, and just right. At the crossroads of post-punk, new wave, pop, and electronic experimentation, the \u003cem\u003eEisbär\u003c\/em\u003e maxi offers three songs that are technically different but hold the same spirit, the perfect embodiment of \u003cstrong\u003eGrauzone\u003c\/strong\u003e's music - wild, unpredictable, and youthful, yet sophisticated, catchy, and ingenious. The magic recipe for the good stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":50425226395979,"sku":"1061250","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"12\" - Blue","offer_id":51423070486859,"sku":"R0709-3449","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a163c02f-4353-4f19-932f-a2f6b2b61316_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726788206","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/eisbar","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
