{"product_id":"iknowyouknowiknow","title":"Iknowyouknowiknow","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a rollercoaster two years promoting his last offering \u003ci\u003eKing Of Clubs\u003c\/i\u003e in the middle of a\nglobal pandemic, alt-rock legend Jamie Lenman returns with the most intimate, most\nambitious and most accessible album of his career.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at The Chapel studios in Chichester over January and February this year with\nproducer Mark Roberts, The Atheist is eleven tracks of guitar driven indie-pop, each laden\nwith enough hooks to catch Moby Dick. With themes ranging from toxic friendships to socio\neconomics to the religious topics inherent in the title, Lenman eschews the aggressive\napproach of previous records for a more melodic mood.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I’ve had a few of these songs kicking around for years, just waiting for the right album,” says\nLenman. “Some of them were written for my first solo project Muscle Memory, some of\nthem were even written whilst I was still in my band, but they were all too pretty. After\ntwenty years of hard edges, particularly the ugly overtones of my last record, it was a relief\nto mellow out and just revel in the pure joyfulness of the thing.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the huge earworm of Talk Hard to the stadium-sized chorus of Lena (Don’t Leave Me),\nthe sheer catchiness of the material is undeniable, and was proven when Lenman took his\nnew-look three-piece band to this year’s Download and played a set of entirely unheard\ntracks. The capacity crowd erupted into spontaneous sing-alongs despite never having\nheard a single note before, resulting in one of the surprise highlights of the weekend.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombined with dazzling artwork from renowned Washington Post\/Wall St Journal illustrator\nMichael Parkin, Lenman will be unleashing his new softer side on an eager public later this\nyear, alongside a string of live shows and the third iteration of his own mini-festival,\nLenmania.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Scary Monsters","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50466051424587,"sku":"2019189","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50466051359051,"sku":"2019188","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20000000191358_1_1511a3e4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727303003","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/iknowyouknowiknow","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
