{"product_id":"tvam_ruins-vinyle-transparent_2026_mdl","title":"Ruins - Vinyle Transparent","description":"TVAM is back with the announcement of his new album, Ruins, due for release on clear vinyl on February 27th via Invada Records. Following on from High Art Lite, Ruins is an album steeped in grief, reflection, and transformation; a record that captures both the weight of loss and the strange beauty that comes with it. Composed after a voluntary break from songwriting, it represents a shift in perspective for Joseph Oxley. “I wanted to step back from what I thought I was supposed to be doing,” he explains. “The worst advice anyone can give you is 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' In reality, everything is always broken. You always have to fix it.” At its core, Ruins explores loss not as an emptiness, but as a presence, something that reshapes the world around us. Oxley confronts the dualities of human experience: the tension between the said and the unsaid, between humanism and nihilism, public and private, despair and acceptance. “Hope and despair don't cancel each other out,” he says. “They can coexist – that's what gives the whole thing its authenticity.” TVAM crafts a work that touches our memories while playing with our fears, creating a universe where broadcasting becomes performance. Since the release of his debut album, Psychic Data, born in a small bedroom studio in Wigan, TVAM has continually redefined the sound and spectacle that the grip of nostalgia represents on modern life, from the communicative energy of \"Porsche Majeure\" to the political dimension of \"Semantics.\" His music has been broadcast on BBC 6 Music and featured in TV shows, including the hit series Succession. Musically, Ruins is a vast and immersive album. Dark yet magical, it is filled with reverb-drenched synthesizers, fragmented textures, and punchy snare drums. Guitars unfold with new restraint, giving way to atmosphere and emotion. The sound textures of \"Broken Reality\" blend with driving rhythms, evoking the cinematic aspect of The Sisters of Mercy during the Floodland era, and the melodic melancholy of The Cure during the Disintegration era. The result is an album that finds beauty in dissonance and light in the debris.","brand":"TVAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56621568131416,"sku":null,"price":20260227.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0617308005646.jpg?v=1769711833","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/tvam_ruins-vinyle-transparent_2026_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
