{"product_id":"prurient-unknown-rains-lp","title":"Prurient - Unknown Rains LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vinyl issue of Prurient's \u003cem\u003eUnknown Rains\u003c\/em\u003e, originally released as a limited edition cassette in 2016. Utterly destructive and heart-wrenching power noise and catharsis from the don gorgon of Hospital Productions, making his first album confession as Pruient since the release of the stunning \u003cem\u003eFrozen Niagara Falls\u003c\/em\u003e from 2015. Taking almost 40 minutes to spell-out a litany of ills that mark up as classic, pain-saturated Prurient in contrast with the more layered, nuanced narrative and more complex production values of his last album, the set boots-off with the infernal backdraft and flagellating vox of the album's most succinct piece, \"Let Your Mind Free (Whip The Corpse).\" Sharp blasts of noise distortion conceal a forlorn Fernow vocal, like that classic Lynchian conceit of obscuring dialogue at the most crucial moment, perversely enhancing narrative through obstruction. It's a brilliant, disturbing, opener. Sore chord progressions and those same distanced vox crushed by needling distortion fill the nine minutes of \"Before Rain Becomes Snow\" with much emotional impact, revealing a sort of disturbed and buried shoegaze appeal that sounds like a Grouper \/ Prurient recording session from another dimension. However, the album's most captivating track comes with the gaping black-holer, \"In The Ruins Of My Brother,\" where the distortion dissipates to the edges, allowing vast blooming bass flares and slithering high registers to wrap around the neck with a spacious, full-spectrum dominance that recalls Prurient's \u003cem\u003ePleasure Ground\u003c\/em\u003e classic, before \"Red Poppy Laughter\" slips back into an opiated sort of naval-gazing noise bliss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hospital Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974357582192,"sku":"ksu1793063080099","price":14.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/3749\/6944\/files\/prurient---unknown-rains-lp_1.jpg?v=1793063106","url":"https:\/\/kayakpaddling.shop\/products\/prurient-unknown-rains-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
