{"product_id":"purple-pilgrims-given-to-the-night","title":"Purple Pilgrims - Given to the Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eTruths and secrets often reveal themselves at night, under the freedom of shadowy darkness, away from prying eyes. In creating \u003cem\u003eGiven to the Night\u003c\/em\u003e, sisters \u003cstrong\u003eValentine and Clementine Nixon\u003c\/strong\u003e have crafted a world that drifts through the in-between: between dream and reality, between day and night and the undefined, and ultimately a world that embraces the discomfort of being untethered. A process that follows simplicity and intuition rather than pre-determined narratives. “We recorded songs as they appeared, which sometimes felt like catching light. Before we realised it we had a record”, the duo explain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile making the record Valentine and Clementine gently pushed away from the world- deleted social media, retreated into the trees of their native New Zealand - and only invited a couple of people in during the recording process. From that space, the album came together in an eerily easeful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a dream-like drift and sonic timelessness to the the record, as reflected in its nocturnal title, which can be read in two ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Being taken by, or being inclined towards nighttime, preferring its blurry cloak of shadows to the harsh light of day; or giving oneself up to night, in sacrifice, letting go of fear and melting into the darkness.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten during a time of personal transition there was “a sense of finding the light in the shadow” they add. Guitar lines float, synth lines entwine, tapes hiss and vocals stream creating a kaleidoscopic montage of transient memories and emotions. A spectrum of feelings arise - isolation and joy, insomnia and manic highs, confusion and fleeting clarity, grief and healings. In the record, these feelings all merge and fade into one another in a nonlinear manner, as life tends to do; creating something deeply human that simultaneously gestures towards the transcendental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFFO: Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD 93","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":59335873003865,"sku":"SDZ-51945","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/0047231581_10.jpg?v=1788858557","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/purple-pilgrims-given-to-the-night","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
