{"product_id":"855985006413","title":"THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. In the fertile terrain of New Zealand's 1980s post-punk scene, few figures loom as large as the Jefferies brothers. Graeme Jefferies and Peter Jefferies-the primary forces behind This Kind Of Punishment-wrote some of the best music to come out on Flying Nun, Xpressway or elsewhere. A dizzying mix of pastoral ballads and DIY experimentation, TKP's songwriting was at once classic and acutely raw. On their self-titled debut, the Jefferies brothers and Chris Matthews eschew the punk-informed modes of their contemporaries for a sound that is decidedly more deliberate \/ intimate. Rooted in a marriage between simplistic, classically-influenced piano, alternating guitar chime and sparse, subtle violin drone, This Kind Of Punishment is a contemplative, inventive collection of ideas corralled via economic 4-track recordings, minimal instrumentation and an austere performance style entirely of the Jefferies' own making. Songs like \"After The Fact,\" \"In View Of The Circumstances\" and \"Two Minutes Drowning\" boast a living quality whereby the listener can act as bystander to these moments of creation-a trait that the band would expand upon throughout the course of their brief tenure. First-time vinyl reissue since it's initial release in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46066883985653,"sku":"855985006413","price":21.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0855985006413.jpg?v=1731311823","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/855985006413","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
