{"product_id":"843563151334","title":"De Oliveira, Gloria \u0026 Hurley, Dean - Oceans Of Time","description":"The earth rotates, seasons change... there is but one long day...\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTime is a beguiling, indistinct entity... sometimes standing still, sometimes bending\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eback upon itself with premonitions or memories of the future. Growing out of a pen\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003epal style correspondence that took place over the course of a year, separated by the\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAtlantic Ocean, Gloria de Oliveira and Dean Hurley passed thoughts and music\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eback and forth that would eventually form their collaborative album, Oceans of Time.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result is an aural tapestry of that exchange: woven from conceptual threads of the\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ecelestial within, mortality and the realm beyond stars.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe duo's partnership is an effortless merge, yet it's the steady presence of de Oliveira's\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003evocals that endows the record with itssense of potency. Throughout the album, there\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eis an innate understanding of how a lyric across a chordal color can sharpen an emotional truth. Much like a sunbeam that pierces a spiderweb to reveal it's intricacy, her\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003elyric and melody are purposely aimed in order to illuminate the truths deep within\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eoneself... a process that ties us all to the universal. The Danish philosopher Søren\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKierkegaard, a professed influence, wrote about the truth as something that was inherently subjective, less about the concrete reality of what is believed and more about how\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eit is experienced by the believer.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrequent David Lynch collaborator Dean Hurley sets the tonal and sonic landscape\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eof each track on the album, lending a layered ether that envelops, frames and holds\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ede Oliveira's vocals. With it's impressionistic synths, shimmering guitars, and ethereal\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003esonics, Oceans of Time at moments recalls the foundational dreampop of 4AD acts\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003elike Cocteau Twins and Lush. The album feels especially attuned to the connections\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ebetween the physical and transcendental realms, and the best dreampop has a way of\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003emaking the veil between two worlds feel just a little bit thinner.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOceans of Time is a key that has the power to release it's listener from the handcuffs of\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ereality, however briefly","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58364349350213,"sku":"SBON311.1","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/gloria-de-oliveira-dean-hurley-music-vinyl-records-de-oliveira-gloria-hurley-dean-oceans-of-time-843563151334-sbon311-1-39954862702844.jpg?v=1782307359","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/843563151334","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
