{"product_id":"high-art-lite","title":"High Art Lite","description":"\u003cp\u003eTVAM returns aboard a Starline tourbus, peeping through the privets and leering over the fences of the rich and famous with a suspicious, cynical eye. \u003ci\u003eHigh Art Lite\u003c\/i\u003e is his first long-player for Invada Records. TVAM self-released his much-acclaimed debut \u003ci\u003ePsychic Data\u003c\/i\u003e in the autumn of 2018, something of a cult-classic, the album joined the dots between Suicide’s deconstructed rock ’n’ roll, Boards of Canada’s irresistible nostalgia and My Bloody Valentine’s infinite noise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing 11 brand new tracks inc. ‘Double Lucifer’, ‘Piz Buin’ and ‘Semantics’, \u003ci\u003eHigh Art Lite\u003c\/i\u003e takes a different tilt to its predecessor by emphasising the immediate and the personal. The colours are blown-out and the brightness is cranked up. TVAM’s take on such things as role models, fictional movie character tropes, and fables of good and evil, are all tackled with the same suspicious cynicism but this time with an urgent belief in the human condition. A heady mix of Black Mirror’s modern fables, JG Ballard’s gated communities of sun-drenched wealth, and Mulholland Drive’s boulevard of broken daydreams, \u003ci\u003eHigh Art Lite\u003c\/i\u003e offers an all-inclusive package of redemption. Clocking in at just under 40 minutes – the pop music sweet spot – \u003ci\u003eHigh Art Lite\u003c\/i\u003e treads a beguiling line between blissful harmonies, crunching noise pop and childlike innocence . The album is both visceral and melancholic, drifting wonderfully across dream pop, shoegaze and synth-pop without ever permanently calling one camp its home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Invada","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50506908074315,"sku":"1168065","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50506908303691,"sku":"1168066","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9abb8025-8052-436e-9560-816810e4c154_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727832733","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/high-art-lite","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
