{"product_id":"heaven-knows-magnolia","title":"Heaven Knows Magnolia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy The Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e come from the lineage of firework pop, bursts of colour and squeeze-your-hand intense love aligned with grey skies and work things. Recall the first time you heard \u003cem\u003eThe Chills\u003c\/em\u003e’ “Pink Frost” or \u003cem\u003eTelevision Personalities\u003c\/em\u003e’ “How I Learned To Live The Bomb”? That’s the encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiam Power formed \u003cstrong\u003eBy The Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2011, the band’s debut single \u003cem\u003eWaltz Away\u003c\/em\u003e coming out on The Great Pop Supplement label that year. In November 2012 the band released their self-titled album through Dell’Orso and GPS. The NME noted how there was “a beautifully bruised element to this Wirral act’s debut from the subdued, morbid production to Liam Power’s heroically battle-weary vocals”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey have also often been tagged for their kitchen-sink dramas though they’re more akin to something like ‘Wish You Were Here’, both funny and dark without being maudlin. There’s an end of pier melancholy to \u003cstrong\u003eBy The Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e records though, something more than a scribble of sentiment on a souvenir postcard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor their second LP \u003cem\u003eEndless Days, Crystal Skies\u003c\/em\u003e the band turned over production duties to their friend Bill Ryder-Jones (formerly of The Coral) and released that bounty of melodic pop in 2014. It’s a partnership they have retained for the new third album \u003cem\u003eHeaven Knows Magnolia\u003c\/em\u003e released on limited purple vinyl and CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dell'Orso","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP","offer_id":50454726836555,"sku":"1163905","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454728048971,"sku":"1163904","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5da5cb7d-7c41-4f2c-936d-0c822d5ce750_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727185826","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/heaven-knows-magnolia","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
