Description
This album comes on BLACK vinyl, packaged with a deluxe origami fold-out sleeve, an obi strip, a DL Card, and a CD wallet. The third album from Dutch punk-infused noiseniks shows new maturity and a conceptual feel, uniting the extremes of their sound. It's a psyche-driven journey into the subconscious, featuring rhythmic kabuki modal mood swings, thunderstorms, digital beeps, traffic noise, and beautiful reverb-drenched sound. The 'third chapter' represents the past five years the Dutch band spent creating their 'difficult' third album. Each song tells a story, with plagues, dreams, wind, fire,'mythical' characters, and the hunt for a secret government warehouse. The lead single, Tokyo Music Experience, has a conveyor belt-propelled modal guitar, evoking Japan's golden days of high productivity. It's a captivating mantra with hourly news bulletin bleeps, emphasizing its time-sensitivity. It's a perfect commercial anthem to build loyalty and unity. Described as making 'underground noise with a refreshing, warped pop appeal' (Mojo), their new album is a post-classic with a unique worldview, inspired by Van Dyke Parks, Scott Walker, Moondog, White Noise, and Beach Boys. If their previous work (Tape Hiss) was a rough draft, 'Excerpts From Chapter 3..' is their transition from punk-pop to psyche-pop.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and use the needle to start playing. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping.
