{"product_id":"signals","title":"Signals","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignals\u003c\/strong\u003e is the latest addition to Marconi Union's highly acclaimed discography. Despite having released twelve albums in the last eighteen years, they continue to experiment and push boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'In some respects \u003cem\u003eSignals\u003c\/em\u003e is a more traditional songwriting album than anything we've done before, but it draws on the same techniques we've used on our previous albums,' says the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter their previous album, the largely beat-less \u003cem\u003eDead Air\u003c\/em\u003e, one might think that Marconi Union would be primarily influenced by synth players or guitarists. However, it turns out that \u003cem\u003eSignals\u003c\/em\u003e was actually informed by the band's admiration of a number of different drummers, which played a significant part in helping shape its sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'We were quite inspired by various players like Jaki Liebezeit, Clive Deamer, and Tony Allen and tried to imagine what our music would sound like with them playing on it.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSignals\u003c\/em\u003e combines synthetic textures with organic sound, merging the familiar with the unknown, and transporting the listener deep into their imagination. The one-word title is both mysterious and evocative, suggesting a multitude of images that range from high-tech electronic messaging to ghostly abandoned radio stations and even that most basic level of human expression, body language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is both ironic and yet somehow so right, that a group so regularly described as 'enigmatic' should make an album that alludes to communication. Although, long-term fans will be relieved to note that Marconi Union decline to enlighten us on what all this means.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Music","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP | x2","offer_id":50459675558219,"sku":"1131444","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50459674575179,"sku":"1131443","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50459675165003,"sku":"1131442","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/19e5d171-12d0-4009-9a9e-ca5a32d7d931_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727225653","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/signals","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
