{"product_id":"bowery-electric-beat-vinyl-lp","title":"Beat - Vinyl LP","description":"Double vinyl LP pressing including bonus track. The second album from New York City's Bowery Electric was released in late 1996, less than 15 months after their self-titled debut, but it found them having traveled light years musically in the interim, the group having seemingly decided to see how far they could take the guitar\/bass\/drums\/vocal setup into the atmosphere. Every aspect of their approach had been refined and focused: squalling, distorted guitars had been transformed into hazy, sensual sheets; the live drums transmuted to sampled rhythms more in debt to the blossoming downtempo sound of the day; bass lines reduced to their most basic diagrams; vocals submerged to become one with the narcotized fog of the instruments; even the lyrics were reduced to a few minimal lines used sparingly so as not to overshadow the dynamic. Beat is a lush and dense mantra of shadowy percussion, barely-there vocals and immersive drones that envelops the listener in an opiated blanket of sound. Includes the bonus track \"Low Density,\" not featured on the original U.S. release.","brand":"Bowery Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50540392972599,"sku":"796441801411","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/2860\/9079\/files\/3477444_8150bbf6-2dbc-4a2f-9d1e-f29093459bd8.jpg?v=1747285313","url":"https:\/\/www.worldwidestereo.com\/products\/bowery-electric-beat-vinyl-lp","provider":"World Wide Stereo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
