{"product_id":"gewgawly-i-thou_norco-original-soundtrack_2022_mdl","title":"Norco Original Soundtrack","description":"Baton Rouge sludge band Thou has released over a dozen albums, collaborated with artists as disparate as Emma Ruth Rundle and The Body, and recorded covers spanning the genre spectrum. Continuing their habit of straying from metal tradition, their latest album, a split with composer Gewgawly I, is a soundtrack created for the highly anticipated new video game NORCO. Gewgawly I creates a masterpiece of atmosphere, reminiscent not only of some of the best game soundtracks of the 80s and 90s, but also a stunning work of contemporary experimental music that pushes the genre forward in a thought-provoking way. Thou complements the game's atmosphere with a blend of doom and drone. The band has at times been associated with themes of alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decadence, the tyranny of history, the vulgarities of change, consciousness as agony, reason as disease, and these come vividly to life in Thou's collaboration with NORCO's richly illustrated world. Yuts, a developer for Geography of Robots, is thrilled that the band was finally able to collaborate on the game and explains that Thou represents a very important aspect of Louisiana. The band members, being familiar with the suburbs of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, capture a kind of eerie irreverence in their sound and visuals that is specific to the region and influenced the game.","brand":"Gewgawly I \u0026 Thou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312028041560,"sku":null,"price":23539626.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0697560815467.jpg?v=1760408439","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/gewgawly-i-thou_norco-original-soundtrack_2022_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
