{"product_id":"pigments","title":"Pigments","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerge Records release \u003ci\u003ePigments\u003c\/i\u003e, the debut collaboration between New Orleans electro-revival dynamo Dawn Richard and multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Spencer Zahn. \u003ci\u003ePigments\u003c\/i\u003e is a project about the power of self-expression through living art, through motion. It’s also a love letter to New Orleans, Louisiana. Not strictly classical, jazz or ambient electronica but rather a body of “movements,” it is an expressive soundscape that is an immersive passage through the city as seen through the eyes of a young Black girl with dreams to paint her future with the pigments given to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard explains: “Spencer wanted to create one long piece of music that would ebb and flow around my lyrics and emotions, which tell a story of growing to love my own skin. I wanted my voice to be moss surrounding the roots of Spencer’s compo- sitions, never forcing the moment to fill every space but rather reveling in the openness of thought and breath.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZahn agrees, saying, “I wanted to work with all these different textures, tones, and colors to have a new sound to frame Dawn’s voice and lyrics. To hear a lone clarinet as the breath fades and a cello continues its melody to cue Dawn’s vocal entrance is unlike any other record she has made. These are things that excite me as a composer but more as a listener. I hope that other listeners feel the same.” Coming on the heels of Dawn Richard’s critically acclaimed Merge debut \u003ci\u003eSecond Line, Pigments\u003c\/i\u003e introduces listeners to a different facet of Richard’s outrageous talent and bring Zahn’s thoughtful creativity to a new audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"White | LP","offer_id":50405500485963,"sku":"1165779","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50405500813643,"sku":"1165776","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50405501337931,"sku":"1165775","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d8f620f5-2d33-42b3-aab5-90d90b9fd072_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726578415","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/pigments","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
