{"product_id":"outtakes-from-bad-summer","title":"outtakes from \"bad summer\" Cassette Tape","description":"\u003cp\u003eOwing to a focused period of growth as a home recordist and producer, there is a distinct, refreshing current that charges outtakes from bad summer, the latest full-length album from Philly-via-Portlands cool original (FKA cool american). What under other circumstances might have been a string of homespun indie rock songs is instead an energized pop-focused collection of tracks born from what Nathan Tucker describes as the contrast between total formlessness and rigid claustrophobia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs heard almost immediately on album opener monad, no windows, an electric atmosphere envelops outtakes from bad summer. Pitch-shifted vocal samples and previously-scrapped drum recordings fill out the overture, setting the table for a patchwork of repurposed, resampled ideas shaped into songs that rarely end up in the same place they started. The unhurried and sentimental i just need a second boasts the full spectrum of cool originals songwriting prowess: foregrounded, infectious melody over subtly chopped and screwed drums comprise the foundation for Tuckers own take on a classic road songa marked contrast to breaking my own rules, an experimental pop number unlike any previous cool original work. Similar contrasts abound throughout outtakes, making for a listening experience thats equal parts rejuvenating and unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A:\r monad, no windows\r waiting around\r the override has been overriden\r cant wrap my head around it\r i just need a second\r the tool is the material\r \r Side B:\r breaking my own rules\r i lost myself\r totalizing art product\r u and me both\r bad summer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/17\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apocalypse Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668437008626,"sku":"7EUA1P-D1JX-LN","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/cool-original-outtakes-from-bad-summer_s2fL5_ce2c6d2a-f913-4f51-8209-5f6a5c828632.jpg?v=1791642700","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/outtakes-from-bad-summer","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
