{"product_id":"metro-verlaine_cut-up_2018_wag","title":"CUT UP","description":"Dark, aggressive and melancholic, the wild pop of Normandy-based Metro Verlaine is a blend of electricity and romanticism.\nTheir debut album \"Cut-Up\" was recorded in two stages in an old Norman shack and produced by Charles Rowell (Crocodiles) and Arthur Guégan. Heavily inspired by the post-punk wave (The Cure, PIL, Joy Division, New Order), the band deconstructed its sound to make it as clear and refined as possible, in a mix of cold pop and martial rhythms. Guided by hypnotic lines and tribal drumming, minimalist guitar riffs support hazy lyrics and restrained vocals.\nFrom \"Manchester,\" a tribute to their beloved city, through the surf music of \"La Vague,\" or the cold wave of \"Ballade Sauvage\" and its hypnotic riff, to \"Richard Hell\" dedicated to the punk hero, \"Cut-Up\" is a collage that blends their influences (musical and literary) and their obsessions, for a no-holds-barred declaration of love to romantic rock.\n\"Cut-Up\" is available as a digipak CD and a 180g Gatefold vinyl that includes a CD version.","brand":"Metro Verlaine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55315800949080,"sku":null,"price":20180316.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3596973544360_3d1907ee-84a1-4ac4-adf0-37a8abcae13a.jpg?v=1765826450","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/metro-verlaine_cut-up_2018_wag","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
