{"product_id":"the-jet-black-berries-sundown-on-venus-definitive-edition","title":"The Jet Black Berries - Sundown on Venus (Definitive Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Jet Black Berries\u003c\/strong\u003e existed at the strange and fertile intersection of post-punk restlessness, roots-rock mythology, psychedelic revival, and science-fiction dread. Emerging from the band’s earlier incarnation as \u003cstrong\u003eNew Math\u003c\/strong\u003e, the group refocused in the mid-1980s with a new name, a new vision, and a sound that moved beyond the limits of punk rock and new wave. What followed was darker, stranger, and more ambitious: country-rock ghosts, rockabilly swing, western balladry, psych-punk atmosphere, and beat-inspired storytelling fused into one singular vision. After feeling stymied in their previous form, the renewed band set its sights on breaking out to other countries and, conceptually, other planets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in two days in August of 1984, \u003cem\u003eSundown on Venus\u003c\/em\u003e was originally released by Enigma\/Pink Dust after the newly reconfigured band signed with Enigma. The original 1985 release, however, arrived with complications. Enigma wanted additional material included, so the album was packaged with a bonus 12-inch featuring extra tracks, including a song written for the film \u003cem\u003eThe Return of the Living Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, ill-chosen cover songs, and re-recordings of older New Math material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, the \u003cem\u003eSundown on Venus [Definitive Edition]\u003c\/em\u003e restores the album to what the band originally envisioned it in 1985. Released on CD for the first time with 12 songs newly remastered \u0026amp; re-presented with focus, this \"Definitive Edition\" brings attention back to the album’s dark narrative arc \u0026amp; unusual genre chemistry. Though the original album received press coverage on both sides of the Atlantic in outlets including Cash Box, Billboard, CMJ, Interview, and the UK’s SOUNDS, \u003cem\u003eSundown on Venus\u003c\/em\u003e never found the commercial audience its ambition deserved. What once slipped through the cracks of underground rock history now stands as a missing link between cowpunk, psych revival, rockabilly, goth, post-punk, Americana, \u0026amp; cinematic sci-fi storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Propeller Sound Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Green Colored Vinyl LP","offer_id":58836017578329,"sku":"SDZ-50416","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/JET.png?v=1786627893","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-jet-black-berries-sundown-on-venus-definitive-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
