{"product_id":"ballet-of-apes","title":"Ballet Of Apes ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eTip-top of Castle Face's osmosis list is the first quiver of tunes from Brigid Dawson and her newly minted Mothers Network: wise warnings dyed in dark hues, knotted and hard-won torch songs from the edge of a turbulent sea, bittersweet balladry spun in defense against evils familiar and unknown. Lovely though it may seem from a distance, the striation of loss quicksilvered throughout provides weighty balance to her contralto lilt. Those familiar with her harmonic counterpoint from her time in Thee Oh Sees or in OCS know she can belt as well as lullaby but there's a fresh and smolderingly heavy swing in her step on display here that Castle Face mightily digs. Ballet Of Apes tapestries together sessions that read like a who's who from outside the label's castle walls-in Australia with Mikey Young (Total Control \/ Eddy Current Suppression Ring), in San Francisco with Mike Donovan (ex-Sic Alps), Shayde Sartin (ex-Fresh \u0026amp; Onlys \/ lifetime ringer) and Mike Shoun (ex-Oh Sees \/ Peacers), and in Brooklyn with instrumental heavy-weights Sunwatchers-and the results are spellbinding. At the focal point of this maelstrom, the lady, as if illumed by candlelight, intones, pleads, consoles-white magic perhaps, but it carries with it the anodized tang of blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs the Season for New Incarnations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Carletta's in Hats Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When My Day of the Crone Comes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ballet of Apes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heartbreak Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trixxx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castleface","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420992872783,"sku":"767870662119","price":3.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/3829205-2586563.jpg?v=1775632306","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/ballet-of-apes","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
