{"product_id":"655035226910","title":"UTOPIA | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Spectres' third album, Utopia is an eight-song offering of gloomy and compelling gothic post-punk. In recent years, the Vancouver five-piece has developed a more nuanced sound. Singer Brian Gustavson pushes his vocals into higher ranges, adding a more dynamic cast to the material; the complex guitar lines and melodies are more shimmering and atmospheric; Nathan Szilagyi's driving bass provides a firm underpinning. On tracks like \"Strange Weather\" - originally intended to be the title of their last LP - Mitch Allen's drumming chops shine through brilliantly. Put bluntly, the LP is a magical post-punk masterpiece: while the group's earliest work had a gritty Warsaw\/Crisis feel, Utopia is a lush and shimmering document of doomy greatness, firmly in the ballpark of The Sound or early 4AD output. Discover one of the crowning albums of the current post-punk and death rock revival.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPECTRES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46067154616565,"sku":"655035226910","price":18.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/01_3e070fe4-bbb5-4a9b-9d37-e65b12210212.jpg?v=1731313099","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/655035226910","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
