{"product_id":"half-yesterday","title":"Half Yesterday","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a deckhand on a container ship idling in the bay, an excitable beachgoer, or a rubbernecker passing through an intersection: it’s as if you’re floating around the city, people-watching through a soft focus lens. Flowertown, the San Francisco duo of Karina Gill and Mike Ramos, return with the dreamy, temperate, \u003ci\u003eHalf Yesterday. \u003c\/i\u003eFlowertown’s previous album, \u003ci\u003eTime Trials\u003c\/i\u003e, focused on the slowing down of time, shutdowns, and a somber look at our day-to-day thoughts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with over-the-shoulder observations, a ‘slice of life’ from one onlooker to the next, \u003ci\u003eHalf Yesterday \u003c\/i\u003eseems to tell the story of the people in a living, thriving, city. Twangy lead guitar, high-neck bass notes, and percussion woven together in the decay of a warm reverb. The album contains the familiar vocal trade-offs between Mike and Karina; oftentimes coming up with two separate melodies for their respective vocals. One stark difference is the beautifully simple production across all of the tracks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevious Flowertown recordings leaned on the “Portastudio as an instrument” production for many of the songs. On \u003ci\u003eHalf Yesterday \u003c\/i\u003ethe tape hiss is there, but it’s not altering the end result. With a fading pink and blue sky, the city’s lights begin to twinkle at sunset. Another onlooker gazes out and wonders if what they’re seeing is right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mt St Mtn Records","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50452671594827,"sku":"1159433","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d992cfaf-07ae-4f0b-aaf5-905bdcf9bd3a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727160259","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/half-yesterday","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
