{"product_id":"829732000146","title":"DROSTE | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeeks Island, The Weeks Island project began in 2018 when, itching for  something during a break from his gig playing guitar for the  Grammy-winning Cajun group Lost Bayou Ramblers, Jonny  Campos ventured to his bandmate's house and recorded a series  of deep, amoebic, ambient pedal steel passages across two  afternoons. It wasn't all heavy, though: he paid that bandmate,  Kirkland Middleton, in Cane's chicken strips.  The tracks on Droste are named for bodies of water that no  longer exist, their names wiped from maps thanks to the  disintegrating shorelines of Southern Louisiana. That feeling of  impermanence hangs over this record - the tracks don't so much  begin and end as slip in and out of your consciousness. It can be  a serene passive listen or a deep one that marinates long after  the runout.  Droste originally appeared on Nouveau Electric Records, run by  another Rambler, Louis Michot, in 2020, digitally and on cassette.  DFA picked it up via an connection from LCD Soundsystem's  Korey Richey, and began a years-long process to cut the record  to vinyl, a task made difficult by the sharp pedal steel and waves  of harmonic distortion that color the music. After more than a few  tries and the addition of three brand new tracks, Bob Weston  at Chicago Mastering Service nailed it, and it was pressed  beautifully at Furnace Record Pressing in Alexandria, VA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEEKS ISLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241132470517,"sku":"829732000146","price":22.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0829732000146.jpg?v=1780876750","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/829732000146","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
