{"product_id":"plumb","title":"Plumb","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissued for the first time since its original release in 2012 and long since out of print, \u003ci\u003ePlumb\u003c\/i\u003e is one of Field Music’s best works, an album that firmly cemented them as one of the UK’s most creative and critically acclaimed bands. It was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize and received huge praise from the likes of Q, The Guardian, Uncut and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlumb’s\u003c\/i\u003e 10 year anniversary edition is limited to 2,000 copies world wide and comes on clear, plum coloured vinyl for Record Store Day 2022. \u003ci\u003ePlumb\u003c\/i\u003e digs into the age-old dichotomy between what is reflective or nostalgic and the disorienting immediacy of the outside world. Songs such as labyrinthine opener \u003ci\u003eStart The Day Right\u003c\/i\u003e, the chugging, minimalist \u003ci\u003eJust Like Everyone Else\u003c\/i\u003e and the all a cappella \u003ci\u003eHow Many More Times?\u003c\/i\u003e recall those early-morning\/late-night moments where dreaming, memory and the present appear fused together. Elsewhere, \u003ci\u003eWho'll Pay The Bills?\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Is This The Picture?\u003c\/i\u003e and especially \u003ci\u003eChoosing Sides\u003c\/i\u003e mine a caustic seam of ambivalence towards whatever passes for aspiration and sincerity in to hyper-mediated and mock-hysterical times. Whether the angle is personal or political, throughout the record there are allusions to the expectations and obligations we all amass. Can we live up to the expectations we had for ourselves when we had youth and naivety on our side? Can we be the people we'd like to be for the sake of our loved ones? When we feel so powerless, what's worth fighting for and what's worth fighting against?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Memphis Industries","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP","offer_id":50545737957707,"sku":"1145884","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/87af34a4-23e4-4013-b108-894a390383b3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728357248","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/plumb","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
