{"product_id":"solemnities","title":"Solemnities","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinlay Shakespeare is a freak. With this, his second album for Editions he confirms this. As a one man band it often strikes the listener as bewildering that he can do all this; the programming sits firmly in the realms of genius, the constant punch of melody upon melody leaves a pleasant sting of surprise and as a lyric writer there's a part of his moniker that seems apt. Solemnities is more gritty than his previous outings as a more raucous industrial edge is grafted on to his epic electronic pop leanings. Occupation launches proceedings as a snarling electro pop monster. Finlay's vocals have never been delivered with such urgency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom here it's one melodic banger followed by another as Shakespeare truly hones his voice and craft into something utterly of his own devising, despite, or as a result of, the specific world of electronic music he is referencing. Covering a wide range of emotional states, from anger to euphoria this is a wild complex dip into one man's world perfectly crafted into an external release. She Says \/ Nothing Ends concludes proceedings with an anthem so bold it would be a worldwide hit if the world could be told. Find a comfortable position, turn Solemnities up loud and let Finlay take you on this startling spectacular trip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Mego","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50479591588171,"sku":"1092202","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/95bc5d3e-60f4-4ef2-835e-6db3bf9f16fe_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727510534","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/solemnities","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
