{"product_id":"the-tower-2","title":"The Tower","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the project’s 20th anniversary celebrations, Rome tolls in the next era of the band with a fresh and visionary album: \u003cem\u003eThe Tower\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRome's new and ever more mature sound is informed by a radically minimalist folk approach, with nonetheless charmingly lush arrangements. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Tower\u003c\/em\u003e is an introspective and enigmatic work at whose centre stands nothing less than Rome's raison d’etre: The Great Work and the sacrifices both necessary and essential on the demanding path to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an unreachable bulwark against the general decline of every value in life, the tower would have been erected long ago to defend the coast. It would have been raised on a rocky platform resting on the sea floor. It would have been joined to the continent by a thin tongue of sand. It would have offered a heroic, magical point of view. A place for our claim to know and point out vaster horizons. It would have stood firm on the ramparts. This isolated tower would not have been just a refuge for more or less mystic escape, but also a post of resistance and combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRome founder Jérôme Reuter’s poetry is the voice of the solitary spirit. A remarkable feat, lyrically demanding, Rome's songs require of the listener a willingness to penetrate shadows and trace the inner drama of the modern world clearly, calmly and convincingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a time that celebrates noise, fame and convenience, here is the well-crafted antidote, a hymn of praise to obscurity, difficulty and silence. Rome's \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Tower\u003c\/em\u003e is an unmissable majestic experience that won’t leave you indifferent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP presented on black high quality, super-audiophile 180g vinyl in reverse board printed cover with printed inner sleeve made from special untreated paper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trisol Music Group","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":55953296490827,"sku":"R5315-3746","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55953296523595,"sku":"R5315-5899","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/MUS000863299.webp?v=1763746263","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-tower-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
