{"product_id":"callahan-witscher_sorry-to-hear-that_2026_mdl","title":"Sorry To Hear That","description":"Jack Callahan and Jeff Witscher were exhausted. Since the turn of the millennium, they had been scouring the American underground experimental music scene, under more or less well-known pseudonyms: Rene Hell, Marble Sky, die Reihe, and many others. Their first album, Think Differently, was the result of the dissolution of their underground scene, which led them to reevaluate the abstract music they had been composing separately and together all along. What other path to follow, if not that of pop? So why not go with the flow? Create a pop rock album, a guitar anthem, typical of the early millennium, on the theme of aging underground musicians who no longer want to make noise. Well, Sorry to Hear That is an album that talks about Think Differently. If Think Differently was a meta-conceptual album, Sorry to Hear That is a meta-meta-conceptual album. Recorded over a period of nine months following the release of the first album, this record bears witness to a period of personal and professional upheaval. The initial optimism sparked by the attention given to Think Differently quickly turned into fanaticism, then sank into fear, disappointment, and breakup. The resulting album is both a testimony and a narrative of that time. Sorry to Hear That is a sequel that picks up where the first album left off, both sonically and conceptually. It features more guitars, breakbeats, a more morose introspection, and self-deprecation tinged with humor. It perfectly conveys the duo's intention from the start: an explosive record, a true verbal joust between the artist and the listener, amplified to the extreme. The album includes numerous guest appearances, old and new, comrades from the trenches of independent music: Marlon DuBois, leader of Shed Theory, Dylan Baldi and Jayson Gerycz of Cloud Nothings, Flannery Silva aka F.G.S., Jazz Lambaux, and others.","brand":"Callahan \u0026 Witscher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56870311067992,"sku":null,"price":24004208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0784300942344.jpg?v=1775682457","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/callahan-witscher_sorry-to-hear-that_2026_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
