{"product_id":"modern-pressure","title":"Modern Pressure","description":"\u003cp\u003eOntario-based artist, poet, musician and performer of international acclaim. A genre-defying student of musical experimentation and a brilliant multi-instrumentalist, Romano is acutely well versed in the languages of melody, shape, lyric construction and song arrangement. Apt in its title, \u003ci\u003eModern Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e will surely prove to be his most explorative endeavor to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twelve tracks pick up where 2016’s critically celebrated\u003ci\u003e Mosey l\u003c\/i\u003eeft off, boldly asking, “What age is this? What blooming weight do we carry through these stolen streets?” Written in observational scrutiny beneath the overcast atmosphere of 2016, the record vigorously tackles the present-day heaviness we contain in the jotting bones of our guilty expressions. It pleads for the restoration of empathy and resonance, to fill the empty chamber once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recording phase for \u003ci\u003eModern Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e took place in a minimalistic cabin in secluded Finnsäs, Sweden over the month of August 2016 (with additional string and horn players being added at Baldwin Street Sound in Toronto, ON in October, 2016). Engineered by long-time collaborator Kenneth Meehan, the fevered pace of work lent itself to the unrestrained and undeviated nature of the songs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New West Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50483923747147,"sku":"1008675","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Orange","offer_id":53638213009739,"sku":"R1584-8929","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375077154.jpg?v=1760696016","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/modern-pressure","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
