{"product_id":"idealism","title":"Idealism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIdealism\u003c\/em\u003e is an album about navigating life in the 2020s as millennial adults, and all the difficulties and uncertainties that come with that - knowing you’ll probably never be able to afford to buy a house, and that a simple grocery shop costs way more than ever before. But it’s also about all the joys and positives of modern life too - being kind to yourself, being kind to other people, and overcoming difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band tries to capture that dichotomy on this album, hence the title \u003cem\u003eIdealism\u003c\/em\u003e, which the dictionary says is “the unrealistic belief in or pursuit of perfection”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album has been a long time in the making, diligently demoed before tracking across studios in London and Essex. Taking a more pop production approach, layering parts and additional keyboards, synthesisers and percussion to add a richer and fuller sound to their traditional indie rock set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNostalgia has always been a running theme for Don’t Worry, as displayed on 2022’s \u003cem\u003eRemorseless Swing\u003c\/em\u003e and 2018 debut album \u003cem\u003eWho Cares Anyway? \u003c\/em\u003eThere’s\u003cbr\u003ea decent dose of it on this new album still, including on the cover, with a photograph taken in their home of Harlow New Town in 2001 by Jim Brown. And in\u003cbr\u003etheir musical influences, Pavement, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, The Streets, Fleetwood Mac, UK Grime and The GTA Vice City Soundtrack (alongside\u003cbr\u003econtemporary influences such as Fontaines D.C., MJ Lenderman, Andy Shauf).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut perhaps for the first time on this album, they push through the comfort of the past, embrace the present and look forward to the future with hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Specialist Subject","offers":[{"title":"LP - Eco Mix","offer_id":52028324970827,"sku":"R2423-3251","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a3029010786_16.jpg?v=1749481964","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/idealism","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
