{"product_id":"843563189535","title":"NIGHT CRIU (PINK VINYL) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHilary Woods, Following two acclaimed experimental instrumental records in Feral Hymns  (2021) and Acts of Light (2023), Hilary Woods returns on her new LP Night  CRIÚ, to song form and most notably, to her voice. Relearning how to use  it, and crafting songs centred around it, Night CRIÚ's intimate ecosystem of  seven songs uses vocal harmony and the annunciation of lyrics as ways to  re-enter the body, to speak to and make the unconscious conscious.  A ceremony of light and shade, Night CRIÚ is a record that riles against blud-  geoning monoculture in it's reclaiming and mourning a lost innocence all at  once. Woods' sonic palette is both dynamic and vulnerable, in it's reaching  to integrate lost and splintered parts of the whole. Unmoored sonic threads  recall the cracks, fringes, forgotten agency and layered dormant personas that  surface at night, waiting to be retrieved and integrated come daylight.  Inspired and energised by many things including the revival of indigenous  language, a personal history of attending parades and processions, early Irish  music, the joy in Northern Soul dancing, aspects of Czech and early Italian  cinema, the immediacy of sound, and the rising up of a present moment  collective in their vocalising and standing up for what it means to be human  in the face of tyranny and oppression, Night CRIÚ was recorded between the  west coast of Ireland, Dublin, London and in part Latvia between 2023 and  January 2025. Canticles for voice, brass, strings, electronics, field recordings,  texture, synths and piano, these songs were chosen from many early home re-  cordings that Woods held up as mirrors of juxtaposition to each other. Writ-  ten and produced by Hilary Woods, Night CRIÚ is mixed by Dean Hurley  with additional production by Dean Hurley and Oliver Turvey, mastered  by Brian Lucey, and featuring work by Hannah Fallon, Hangleton Brass  Band, Gabriel Ferrandini and Ajo Gonsenica.  \"Each record is a life buoy, a snapshot, a marker in the sand, a date that re-  quires me to meet it\" according to Woods, \"A raft, at once cathartic, buoyant  and playful, making records is a way of being\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WOODS,HILARY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242201100533,"sku":"843563189535","price":21.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0843563189535.jpg?v=1780890027","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/843563189535","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
