{"product_id":"gift-for-the-end","title":"Gift For The End","description":"\u003cp\u003e'gift for the end,' mariee sioux's new album, draws its benevolent psychedelia on the native folk roots: a canyon crisscrossed by paths leading joni mitchell's, neil young's and bonnie prince billy's souls into a deep world music, mystical and ancestral, either from america or from elsewhere. 'gift for the end' was recorded between april 2010 and august 2011 in placerville's moonsoon studios and in the nevada city's sun dial studios. mariee sioux added intricate melodies to her traditional guitar picking, combining the most classical and the less conventional instruments, allowing herself a wider personal and emotional exploration. as compared to 'faces in the rocks''s consistency and uniformity, 'gift for the end' offers a large variety of sounds, universes and themes, the one about native americans, as symbolized by traditional flutes, being more discreet. the guest musicians are familiar and necessary, sean kae's arrangements and production sometimes treat the traditional folk instruments in a hallucinogenic way: a subtle carpet of percussions, vocal harmonies, ghostly sounds features allowing to link the tracks together and to weld them into a single block of different crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50451613090123,"sku":"349414","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b80a3c6a-debc-4982-9f0f-323e30598515_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727131588","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/gift-for-the-end","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
