[Limited Edition Orange LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDaniel Boeckner understands the grit and gravel that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eaccumulates in the heart and that it takes an unwavering courage \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto crack through that clutter and burrow to the other side. And in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoeckner’s hands, that quest comes via post-apocalyptic synth \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand guitar heroism, a rallying cry for those always coming home \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethrough the scorched clouds. Throughout his work with Wolf \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits, Operators, Atlas Strategic, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand more, the iconic Canadian indie rocker recognizes that few \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efeelings are more gratifying—more memorable, more generative, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emore abundant—than hope. But it takes getting the hell out of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyour own way. A culmination of that deep library of musical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereference, Boeckner is set to release his first album under his own \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ename: Boeckner!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo matter where his genre exploration has taken him, there’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esomething about growing up in punk and DIY spaces that puts \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecollaboration in Boeckner’s blood. Composed of a collection of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eintimately familiar elements, Boeckner! elicits the same thrill of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyoung passion and discovery. It’s a jet-powered chase through a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etech-noir cityscape—fueled by a dream and that special someone \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein the passenger seat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat urgency and passion have always been a trademark of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoeckner’s, and writing on his own pushes those feelings further \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einto the center of the scope. But while Boeckner may be the clear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edriving force behind the album, he’s not without collaborators for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis solo debut. After meeting producer Randall Dunn while \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econtributing to the soundtrack to the Nicolas Cage-starring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epsychedelic horror film Mandy, Boeckner knew he’d found the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperfect counterpart for his solo debut. “I’d been a fan of his forever, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eespecially the Sunn0))) records he produced,” Boeckner says. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Working with Randall really unlocked some suppressed musical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eurges, things that I enjoy in my private life but don’t normally weave \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einto what I’m releasing—like occult synth, pseudo-metal, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ekrautrock, and heavy psych influences.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat base allows Boeckner to thoughtfully weave between emotional imagism and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emore grounded storytelling. Throughout the record, his imagery delves into science \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efiction, but it’s charged first and foremost by experience. The trio of Boeckner, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDunn, and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Fiona Apple) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eformed a sort of dark engine for the album, and Chamberlain’s ingenious approach \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof triggering a vintage Arp synthesizer simultaneously with each drum track helped \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoeckner shape the record’s atmosphere. That tense futurism was influenced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoeckner’s time staying in Dunn’s Circular Ruin studio, a dusky, electronic aura \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eburned into every track.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy the end of the album, Boeckner! eases from sci-fi epic into something more akin to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea torched VHS copy of a John Cassevetes film, the chemtrails and nuclear fallout fading \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong in the distance. Like all good sci-fi, the emotion and pain hits home for the author \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand listener alike, and the genre flourishes bolster the human experience. In revealing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emore than ever before, Boeckner! ratchets up the musical intensity to unforeseen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elevels and hopes to find some peace at the end of the journey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost in the Mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Worry Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead Tourists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn to Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuphoria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoly Is the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 098787150506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub Pop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.15.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234479661216,"sku":"098787150506","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4290920-3093614.jpg?v=1770364640","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/boeckner-boeckner-limited-edition-orange-lp","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
