{"product_id":"673855079509","title":"Archers Of Loaf - Reason In Decline, White Red \u0026 Purple Swirl","description":"\u003cp\u003eReason in Decline, Archers of Loaf's first studio album since the 1998 release of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. When they emerged from North Carolina's '90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers' hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it's a startling revelation. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band's four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit. Notably, Johnson's signature trebly lines peal clearly above the din instead of struggling to be heard. Today, singer-songwriter Bachmann's lyrics balance righteous wrath with a complex tangle of adult perspective. He still spits bile, but it's less likely to concern scene politics, music trends, or shady record labels thwarting the dreams of a young rock band. Bachmann puts it bluntly: \"What I really think about going back to the Archers and doing a new record is that the three other members of this band are awesome. It's not about responding to the past or whatever our bullshit legacy is. I just wanted to work with these guys because I knew the chemistry we had and that we still have. I knew that was rare.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58364371894597,"sku":"MRG795.1","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/archers-of-loaf-music-vinyl-records-archers-of-loaf-reason-in-decline-white-red-purple-swirl-673855079509-mrg795-1-39954989711612.jpg?v=1782307541","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/673855079509","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
