{"product_id":"living-arrangements","title":"Living Arrangements","description":"Arriving with a heavy dose of new wave synths and sprinklings of jagged art-pop guitar, New York duo Color Film offer their debut full-length, Living Arrangements, via the SideOneDummy label. Formed in 2012 by Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw) and Richard Penzone (Men, Women, \u0026amp; Children), Color Film pools the two musicians' combined influences into a vibrant amalgam of early-'80s pop forms with a contemporary indie attitude. Historically speaking, this project is more in keeping with Penzone's electro-pop past than with the gritty post-hardcore of Palumbo's earlier work, but Living Arrangements does have some heavier elements poking out between the frenetic John Taylor-esque basslines and bright, chiming guitar grooves. Songs like \"Ambush Bug\" and \"Bass in 7\" have a frantic, almost cathartic feel that pairs well with the album's dynamic early-MTV framework. The complex but tuneful standout, \"Restless Summer,\" offers Color Film's best shot at a pop single on this enjoyable musical tribute to the sound of another era. ~ Timothy Monger","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41921002176677,"sku":"8714092749311","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/products\/b31e9bf203e372e76a1f6d6ed7b50f73_7c0f0d08-8520-48fd-9bba-cb2d87dfbf95.jpg?v=1680575674","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-gb\/products\/living-arrangements","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
