The three albums were recorded in San Francisco, at 41 Turk Street, in the Tenderloin District, a desolate neighborhood offering only drink, crack, and other nocturnal excesses as an escape. Here, the trio carves out a previously traced furrow: disillusioned vocals, acoustic guitar and electric blasts, arid and distant bass, drums like a precise and sovereign spinal axis. And always those homemade tinkerings: distantly placed microphones, analog multitracks. 'Our songs have colors, in a range of gray, blue, and brown,' the musicians confide. The atmosphere is dark, mysterious, and hypnotic. An arid and suspended elegance hovers within these songs. The calm before the storm. Here, you hear a creaking staircase, the distant ring of a telephone, the sound of a turning wheel. So many sonic artifacts that must be preserved and brought to life. And that is undoubtedly the major tour de force of this record: an enclosed recording process that perfectly captures the pulsations of the city, that of America's forgotten. - - Compositions with a sullen mood and shattering beauty, layered songwriting, terrifyingly haunting vocals. Thirty years later, the magnetic pull remains. '41' is now reissued on vinyl with a 12-page booklet (and digitally) in a remastered version by JJ, Golden Mastering.","brand":"Swell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310227145048,"sku":null,"price":23987685.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3770011636716_d46f3270-8dd1-4b45-a86f-99dd1d199c2a.jpg?v=1760318889","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/swell_41-30th-anniversary-reissue-vinyle_2024_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
