{"product_id":"juliana-hatfield-blood-cd","title":"Juliana Hatfield - Blood [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlood\" is Juliana Hatfield's 19th solo studio album of originals, and a deep dive into the dark side. The album is a brutal and critical look at modern human psychology and behavior; at personal and societal sickness. \"I think these songs are a reaction to how seriously and negatively a lot of people have been affected by the past four years,\" says Juliana. \"But it's fun, musically. There's a lot of playing around. I didn't really have a plan when I started this project.\"\"Chunks\" and \"Had A Dream\" are gritty and abrasive while \"Mouthful of Blood\" and \"Gorgon\" are groovy and ultra-melodic. All of it is eminently hummable and thought-provoking. Sophisticated but catchy. Challenging but danceable.\"I always love coming up with melodies and then trying to fit words into them-it's like doing a puzzle,\" says Juliana. \"And I always find places to use the Mellotron flutes and strings, on every album, because those sounds are so beautiful to me. They are a nice counterpoint to the damaged lyrical content.\"The album was recorded largely at home-Juliana's home in Massachusetts and new collaborator Jed Davis' home in Connecticut. \"During self-isolation I took the opportunity to finally learn how to record into my laptop,\" says Juliana, \"and that's how this album came to be. (Usually I work in a studio.) I did more than half the work in my room-with Jed helping me to troubleshoot the technology, and helping with building and arranging some of the songs-and then I finished up with additional overdubs and mixing with engineer James Bridges at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shame Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGorgon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNightmary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHad A Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuck It Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChunks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthful Of Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 616011914566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Laundromat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.14.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234293604512,"sku":"616011914566","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/3927063-2666109.jpg?v=1770361845","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/juliana-hatfield-blood-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
