{"product_id":"altered-self","title":"Altered Self","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoe Gideon first came to wider attention 20 years ago with his band Bikini Atoll. But back in March 2020, the singer\/songwriter was mid-tour promoting his new album Armagideon when the pandemic brought his tour, along with the entire world, to a screeching halt. Like it's predecessor, his upcoming album, Altered Self, is produced by Jim Sclavunos. Gideon's unique song-writing style and surreal poetic musings are very much in the fore; and although he and Jim are the sole instrumentalists, the album offers a menagerie of sounds including loopy synths, skronky guitars, sonorous bass, and lashings of bongo madness. Expect to hear Joe yowling and howling at the moon, screeching like a bird, as well as summoning listeners to join his 'disco church' congregation. And for all you entomologists, Joe promises at least two songs about insects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973763440882,"sku":"5430002862712","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4305619-3126610.jpg?v=1787610150","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/altered-self","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
