{"product_id":"any-shape-you-take","title":"Any Shape You Take","description":"The second full-length from singer\/songwriter Indigo De Souza, Any Shape You Take is the North Carolinian's first for Saddle Creek, which reissued her debut album a couple months prior in anticipation of its arrival. Doubling down on the debut's raw and candid ethos, the follow-up delves into dysfunctional relationships, death, and despair with a more polished yet still hooky, jagged indie rock co-produced by De Souza and Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee). Before deep-diving into songs with titles like \"Darker Than Death,\" \"Kill Me,\" and centerpiece \"Real Pain,\" it opens with the poppy, Auto-Tuned \"17,\" a synth-based song about ill-fated teenage love with its own dark lyrical bent. Live drums and guitar are introduced on second track \"Darker Than Death,\" a midtempo, punchy indie rocker that has our protagonist wondering what she did wrong. When the set list eventually arrives at the lilting \"Real Pain,\" it transforms a melancholy dream rock into a cacophony of \"screams, yells, and anything else\" that De Souza requested from fans online in the form of anonymous voice memos. That section is underscored by a pounding, in-unison bass and drum, swirling keys, and more, until it abruptly converts into a sleek jammer that stresses, \"I wanna know it's not my fault.\" She goes on to traverse moody post-punk (\"Bad Dream\"), playful funk-pop (\"Hold U\"), and a default churning indie rock (including infectious highlight \"Way Out\") before closing the proceedings with \"Kill Me.\" Violent and sexually explicit, it revives a stream-of-consciousness laptop-video demo from 2018 that De Souza later forgot ever writing. The song leaves Any Shape You Take on the too-pertinent repeated line: \"Tell them that I wasn't having much fun.\" ~ Marcy Donelson","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512845222053,"sku":"648401031850","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/b03478084f81503490065b5e77a2502e_83e466a5-0d32-4df0-ae6b-163b4262aae1.jpg?v=1777598692","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-au\/products\/any-shape-you-take","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
