{"product_id":"bad-suns-apocalypse-whenever","title":"Bad Suns - Apocalypse Whenever","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Bad Suns sound - dreamy '80s pastiche flanked by Stratocasters through cranked Vox amps, pulsing synths, and palpable rhythmic energy - that endeared listeners to the band in the first place, and their fourth LP, Apocalypse Whenever, uses that musical foundation as the jumping-off point for their next evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceived as \"the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't yet exist,\" the 13-track album, helmed by longtime producer Eric Palmquist (Mutemath, Thrice) at his Palmquist Studios and the band's North Hollywood rehearsal spot, is more conceptually rigorous than anything they've ever attempted - but no less compelling or accessible. \"We also knew we wanted the album to have a through-line, a story from beginning to end,\" frontman Christo Bowman explains, so the band did what any good directors would: They assembled a mood board, filtering their neo-noir version of Los Angeles through the dreamlike haziness of author Haruki Murakami, the futuristic flair of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Blade Runner, and the lifted cinematography of Spike Jonze's Her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese disparate influences don't just offer Apocalypse Whenever an expanded palette of sonic choices to color Bad Sun's airtight hooks - they help give the songs an emotional complexity that works on a multitude of levels depending on how listeners choose to receive them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49972948828402,"sku":"045778777914","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/8449015284017_85quality_Bad_Suns_-_Apocalypse_Whenever.webp?v=1787594257","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/bad-suns-apocalypse-whenever","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
