{"product_id":"i-see-a-darkness","title":"I See A Darkness","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill Oldham\u003c\/strong\u003e, the artist formerly known as Palace, has never been concerned with creating pop music. Oldham's forte, murder ballads, anti-spirituals, dead-sea chanteys, and lost-love songs, has always been \"difficult\", forcing the listener to confront some rather unseemly topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSay this about Oldham, however, despite his quirks (cracking vocals, shambolic instrumentation, baroque language), at its best, his music is bracing and, often, very beautiful. That said, \u003cem\u003eI See a Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e, his second LP since abandoning the Palace moniker, is the most accessible, gorgeous, and moving record of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of the gothic, low-fi country feel of many of his projects, \u003cem\u003eDarkness\u003c\/em\u003e comes off sounding like an early-1970s Neil Young album, comprised of a stately piano backbone and fleshed out by loose-fitting guitar strums. Stylistically, Oldham mixes things up on \u003cem\u003eDarkness\u003c\/em\u003e and his full band sounds, for once, well practiced and well recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50416989798731,"sku":"122486","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50416990060875,"sku":"285795","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1f19f713-f542-4c12-ae4c-0988754d505c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726713662","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/i-see-a-darkness","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
