{"product_id":"olivier-rocabois-the-afternoon-of-our-lives","title":"Olivier Rocabois- The Afternoon of Our Lives ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter \"Olivier Rocabois Goes Too Far\" 2021 and the EP \"The Pleasure Is Goldmine\" (2022), the new release by Olivier Rocabois is called \"The Afternoon of our Lives\". The songmaker from Brittany has written and composed 11 new numbers for this second solo LP. The A side was recorded at the legendary Studios de La Frette (Arctic Monkeys, Marianne Faithfull, Nick Cave) with his band whereas he cut solo tracks for the B side in various studios around Paris and in a church somewhere in Normandy. A string quartet can be heard on a couple of tracks including \"Prologue \/ Trippin' on Memory Lane\", the long baroque pop piece that shines at the center of the album. Heavily influenced by the late Beatles and Hunky Dory \/ Aladdin Sane-Bowie but also The Beach Boys or The Divine Comedy, the record also contains more adventurous tracks and even two potential hits which could keep your dancefloor packed all night long! Olivier has been touring extensively last year (playing venues in Paris like Le Café de la Danse and Les Trois Baudets) and a summer\/autumn tour is in the pipeline. As Rob Cochrane wrote for Culture Catch \"He may have invented a niche for himself in the form of Glam Baroque. Ignore at your peril for fear of missing out on something magical, something splendid, something simply grand.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStained Glass Lena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 45 Trips Around the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Coming of Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Only Live Thrice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Is Well When I Go My Merry Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e From Hampstead Heath to St John's Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trippin' on Memory Lane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Merrymakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All the Suns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Over the Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lifetime Achievement Award Speech\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\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"December Square","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420756746575,"sku":"3700398730752","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4358159-3203987.jpg?v=1775628097","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/olivier-rocabois-the-afternoon-of-our-lives","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
