When mixing the record in Chicago, everyday Amos skated through Douglass Park listening to podcasts about the inner workings of The Band, listened to 70’s AM radio while washing dishes and went to sleep at night to early Bee Gees interviews. The earliest concept of the record was based around the track “Chain Gang” which was an imaginary take on if Cat Stevens had smoked a ton of salvia and taken a much darker route within that world of dense, story-telling\/message-based songwriting. The track “Raw and Disfigured” borrows its name from the last Thrill Jockey Holy Sons record, in a referential move that’s stolen from the way Led Zeppelin separated the track “Houses of the Holy” from the record of the same name (once again harkening back to 70’s lore).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thrill Jockey","offers":[{"title":"LP - Opaque Purple","offer_id":53211389460811,"sku":"R8015-2875","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375066997.jpg?v=1755675528","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/puritan-themes","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
