{"product_id":"archers-of-loaf-reason-in-decline-cd","title":"Archers of Loaf - Reason In Decline (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eReason in Decline, Archers of Loaf's first studio album since the 1998 release of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. When they emerged from North Carolina's '90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers' hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it's a startling revelation. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band's four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit. Notably, Johnson's signature trebly lines peal clearly above the din instead of struggling to be heard. Today, singer-songwriter Bachmann's lyrics balance righteous wrath with a complex tangle of adult perspective. He still spits bile, but it's less likely to concern scene politics, music trends, or shady record labels thwarting the dreams of a young rock band. Bachmann puts it bluntly: \"What I really think about going back to the Archers and doing a new record is that the three other members of this band are awesome. It's not about responding to the past or whatever our bullshit legacy is. I just wanted to work with these guys because I knew the chemistry we had and that we still have. I knew that was rare.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saturation and Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Screaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Undercover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mama Was a War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Profiteer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Aimee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In the Surface Noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Breaking Even\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Misinformation Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Moment You End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e War Is Wide Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521727992082,"sku":"673855079523","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/archers-of-loaf-reason-in-decline-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
