{"product_id":"gonzo","title":"Gonzo","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter 12 years of instrumental albums (ranging from a pair of Solo Pianos, chamber music, collaborative albums with Boys Noize, Jarvis Cocker and Plastikman and even a best-selling Christmas record), Chilly Gonzales has a lot to get off his chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe notebooks that sat unfilled since 2011’s orchestral rap opus “The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales” started to fill up again in early 2022 after ending a lengthy decade of psychoanalysis. Coincidence? Hardly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the wordplay and name-dropping (Ron Jeremy, Marie Kondo, Genghis Khan and Phillip Glass to cite a few) the songs that made it to the new album Gonzo reveal an ongoing tension between persuasion and confession, delusion and self-awareness and finally, gratitude. The tension between creativity and commerce also continues to be a career-long exploration for Gonzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut is this truly a rap album? Instrumental pieces such as the Stravinsky-esque “Fidelio” or the tearjerking “Eau de Cologne” will remind listeners of Gonzo’s extravagant “musical genius” persona, as the words and rhymes from previous verses settle into their ears. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gentle Threat","offers":[{"title":"LP - Red","offer_id":50380189303115,"sku":"2196743","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50380189073739,"sku":"2196742","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5051083200448_4557d884_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726210471","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/gonzo","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
