{"product_id":"faith-healer-try-vinyl-lp","title":"Try ;-) - Vinyl LP","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. When Edmonton's Jessica Jalbert first began performing solo under the name Faith Healer, the alias was her way of avoiding being pigeonholed as a singer-songwriter. Now, however, times have changed: Faith Healer has blossomed into a band, with singer-guitarist Jalbert joined by drummer\/multi-instrumentalist Renny Wilson and their first album as a duo is Try ;-). The follow-up to 2015's Cosmic Troubles was largely recorded during an intensive month-long session in September 2016 at Wilson's personal studio in Montreal. During the process, Jalbert rented a room in Wilson's house and the pair spent hours jamming and listening to bargain bin rock records in the basement. The resultant pop-rock arrangements are overflowing with beautiful sonic details-from the Twin Peaks synths that enshroud \"Sterling Silver\" to the funky clavinet nestled within the paisley-patterned pop of \"\u0026amp; Waiting.\" Jalbert and Wilson were also inspired by the garage-punk snarl of Wipers, the deadpan drama of Leonard Cohen's Death Of A Ladies' Man, and the classic songwriting chops of Scott Walker and Elvis Costello. The intensive creative process of making this album inspired the title and serves as a reminder that sometimes you need to grab life by the horns rather than waiting for inspiration to strike. As for that winky face: \"I always use that winky emoticon,\" Jalbert says with a laugh. \"I think it's hilarious. I think it's cheeky and fun, which is something I was trying to access a little more with this record.\" Balancing melancholy lyrics with playful moods, lush melodies with straightforward arrangements, this album is the sound of an introspective loner leaving her bedroom to make a rock record with her best bud.","brand":"Faith Healer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50532430479671,"sku":"773871017117","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/2860\/9079\/files\/3698653.jpg?v=1747273238","url":"https:\/\/www.worldwidestereo.com\/products\/faith-healer-try-vinyl-lp","provider":"World Wide Stereo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
