{"product_id":"alien-boy-sleeping-lessons-yellow-vinyl","title":"Alien Boy - Sleeping Lessons (YELLOW VINYL) |","description":"In a scene where abstruse lyrics and ironic detachment are all the rage, Alien Boys high-stakes, brash pop is as refreshing as it is surprising. Lead singer and songwriter Sonia Weber communicates subdued desires and secret grievances in the grand tradition of emo and pop-punk and rock n roll in general making the Portland, OR bands infectious debut LP Sleeping Lessons is a collection of lullabies for the pop masochist. And like all great, emotional music, these ten dynamic songs are resonant because theyre unmistakably human.\n\nAlien Boy takes its name from a Wipers song, but elsewhere the groups PNW lineage is felt in a mordant grit gleaned from Team Dresch and early Heatmiser. It sets the tone for Weber to mix her deep-seated love of early 2000s generational touchstones with a Britpop frostiness to brilliant and totally unique results. From the tremolo dives and Stone Roses references on Ride-y opener Somewhere Without Me, to the sun-kissed, power-pop bliss of 600 Days. Webers melodies are so bright and effective its easy to forget they come from a place of absolute emotional torment.","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":49263816081650,"sku":"ESEMNO-KABV-7R","price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/rock-new_x7FZJ.jpg?v=1779751015","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/alien-boy-sleeping-lessons-yellow-vinyl","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
