{"product_id":"pullman-iii","title":"Pullman - III","description":"\u003cp\u003ePullman is a studio-born acoustic supergroup that emerged from Chicago’s post-rock milieu in the late ’90s, uniting Ken “Bundy K.” Brown (Tortoise\/Directions in Music), Curtis Harvey (Rex), Chris Brokaw (Come), and Doug McCombs (Tortoise\/Eleventh Dream Day); drummer Tim Barnes later joined, solidifying the group’s core lineup.\u003cbr\u003eThey debuted on Thrill Jockey with Turnstyles \u0026amp; Junkpiles (1998), a hushed, live-to-2-track collection of interwoven guitars that critics likened to John Fahey, Leo Kottke, and Gastr del Sol.\u003cbr\u003eTheir follow-up, Viewfinder (2001), expanded the palette with percussion, subtle electric textures, and multi-track layering, while maintaining Pullman’s rustic, cinematic restraint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross both albums, the band became a touchstone for acoustic, song-adjacent instrumental music: folk in spirit, post-rock in method, and timeless in tone.\u003cbr\u003eTwo decades later, Pullman return with III, an album forged in friendship and resilience.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2021, Barnes went public with his diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s at age 54.\u003cbr\u003eEven as his condition progressed, he and Brown began working almost daily, often remotely, with a wide circle of collaborators from Barnes’s musical past.\u003cbr\u003eWhat began as a single contribution for a compilation gradually blossomed into a full Pullman record, completed between 2021 and 2023.\u003cbr\u003eEdited and mixed by Brown, with early input from Barnes, III carries forward the group’s signature intimacy and space while embodying the spirit of community that has always defined their work.\u003cbr\u003eBoth a continuation of Pullman’s singular aesthetic and a testament to the sustaining power of music, III drifts with the quiet weight of memory, persistence, and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WESTERN VINYL","offers":[{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":53207230611783,"sku":"TRI-68690","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/aec635ac68f0eb566f642dcccb051169.jpg?v=1769380019","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/pullman-iii","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
