{"product_id":"signal-lost","title":"Signal: Lost","description":"\u003cp\u003eSignal:Lost has evolved out of a somewhat unexpected period of \u003cbr\u003eproductivity and invention in the Boa Morte world. Not only did the band build \u003cbr\u003eand equip their own studio but they simultaneously recorded two very \u003cbr\u003edifferent albums for release 6 months apart. Signal:Lost is the first of these \u003cbr\u003ewith The Following On set for release early in 2027; two sides of the same \u003cbr\u003ecoin. The process has seen the band develop into a tighter ensemble that \u003cbr\u003enevertheless relishes a newfound freedom for improvisation and innovation. \u003cbr\u003eAs always, the quality of the songwriting remains key; if Signal:Lost \u003cbr\u003erepresents a wayward distress-signal then it’s the band’s innate melodic \u003cbr\u003ecompass that brings us firmly back on track.  \u003cbr\u003eThe process has been important. The new studio provides space, both \u003cbr\u003ephysical and temporal, to write, experiment and create. The decision to make \u003cbr\u003esomething that sounds different to the previous records has been \u003cbr\u003efundamental; to rethink a bassline, to experiment with oblique chords and \u003cbr\u003erhythmic patterns, to deviate even more from the straightforward and familiar. \u003cbr\u003eThen to re-engage with James Darkin (who previously produced the bands \u003cbr\u003ethird album Before There Was Air) as producer and engineer - in order to \u003cbr\u003emove from lo-fi to hi-fi and back again by recording in a range of Irish studios, \u003cbr\u003eand to combine this sound with the original demos. The results are a \u003cbr\u003ecollection of the best Boa Morte songs to date; songs that play with form and \u003cbr\u003estructure, that gently envelop drones, muted brass, melodic interludes and \u003cbr\u003efound-sounds. And the good news is that another album, equally beguiling, \u003cbr\u003ecomes along in 2027\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOA MORTE\/SELF","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":54870257303879,"sku":"TRI-78416","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54870257336647,"sku":"TRI-78418","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/signal-lost","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
