{"product_id":"the-echoing-shell","title":"The Echoing Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their duo debut, Dean Spunt and John Wiese invite you to experience the frenzy of percussive space and discreet sound found inside \u003ci\u003eThe Echoing Shell\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Echoing Shell\u003c\/i\u003e is born of Dean and John’s shared understanding, using John’s process common to Sissy Spacek: elaborate sound-collage works using source material originating from punk, hardcore and improvised music. A series of impositions, tape manipulation and edits recompose the material, cracking open the crust of the source, freeing its implied guts to steam forth in gushes of extreme noise. On \u003ci\u003eThe Echoing Shell\u003c\/i\u003e, this is as often noise as it is extreme intimacy, seeming at times to be sourced from within Dean’s drumkit, at other times appearing to emanate from the capsules of microphones and the circuits of the signal path itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne may read these collaged sounds as abstraction, but there is a unique language conveyed in their assembly, forming something like word-shapes and meaning. And intention: the two side-long pieces, comprised of many short sections, form a linear whole, creating alternately ripping and discriminating music - and meaning - in the process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Echoing Shell\u003c\/i\u003e is a fantastic conception in contemporary musique concrète, combining incendiary post-rock power, dry humour and astonishing depth of field. Whether projecting the sound through headphones, ear buds, bookshelf speakers or your own personal amp stack, crank up \u003ci\u003eThe Echoing Shell.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drag City","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50503235797323,"sku":"1152910","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3f1bab8b-7bfe-45f1-98ea-e7b500fc0dea_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727794210","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-echoing-shell","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
