{"product_id":"210000009632","title":"Juliana Hatfield - Blood - Black Vinyl","description":"Blood\" is Juliana Hatfield's 19th solo studio album of originals, and a deep dive into the dark side. The album is a brutal and critical look at modern human psychology and behavior; at personal and societal sickness. \"I think these songs are a reaction to how seriously and negatively a lot of people have been affected by the past four years,\" says Juliana. \"But it's fun, musically. There's a lot of playing around. I didn't really have a plan when I started this project.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Chunks\" and \"Had A Dream\" are gritty and abrasive while \"Mouthful of Blood\" and \"Gorgon\" are groovy and ultra-melodic. All of it is eminently hummable and thought-provoking. Sophisticated but catchy. Challenging but danceable.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I always love coming up with melodies and then trying to fit words into them-it's like doing a puzzle,\" says Juliana. \"And I always find places to use the Mellotron flutes and strings, on every album, because those sounds are so beautiful to me. They are a nice counterpoint to the damaged lyrical content.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe album was recorded largely at home-Juliana's home in Massachusetts and new collaborator Jed Davis' home in Connecticut. \"During self-isolation I took the opportunity to finally learn how to record into my laptop,\" says Juliana, \"and that's how this album came to be. (Usually I work in a studio.) I did more than half the work in my room-with Jed helping me to troubleshoot the technology, and helping with building and arranging some of the songs-and then I finished up with additional overdubs and mixing with engineer James Bridges at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA.","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58367820661061,"sku":"ALAU54.1","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/music-vinyl-records-juliana-hatfield-blood-black-vinyl-616011914573-alau54-1-37555678445820.jpg?v=1782313649","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/210000009632","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
