{"product_id":"runes-lp","title":"Runes [LP]","description":"The debut full-length outing from the English indie rock trio, Runes is a slow-building amalgam of inexorable Motorik beats, staccato guitar licks, and brooding synths that should please fans of post-punk revivalists like Editors, the Horrors, and Future Islands. Hypnotic opener \"Legacy Project\" unfolds slowly -- the first vocals don't arrive until nearly four minutes in -- patiently setting the table for vocalist\/drummer Ben Leverock's even-tempered delivery. Both \"Slowly Sinking\" and \"A Smaller Part\" dip into moody Alt-J territory, albeit with a distinct '80s pop vibe, as does the atmospheric -- and far more dynamic -- closer \"Waxen Palm.\" The claws come out a bit on the burly single \"Real Blood,\" due in large part to Stuart Gardham's very Joey Santiago-esque guitar work -- Doolittle-era Pixies seems to be a sort of sonic touchstone throughout -- but for the most part, the workmanlike Runes leans harder on the narcotic end of the post-punk spectrum. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41917279469733,"sku":"5060246127980","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/969f1979a7fabe4d78c9a132e1d83fdc.jpg?v=1777701101","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-ca\/products\/runes-lp","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
