{"product_id":"cinema-royal-vinyl-1lp","title":"Cinema Royal: Vinyl 1LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong time friend of the label and Stones Throw alumni ‘Rejoicer’ joins forces with longtime collaborator, fellow Apifera band member and renowned pianist Nitai Hershkovits to present a new moniker and concept piece “Cinema Royal” - a delicate yet audacious album that quietly commands attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving previously collaborated on works for Raw Tapes and beyond, this body of work exists more on the modern classical plain with splices of ambient and jazz woven into the musical fabric of the compositions. Led by piano, the album features a dizzying array of orchestral, percussive and traditional string instruments from around the world- flawlessly combined in a way that might sound contrived, but just fits effortlessly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that it’s such an easy listen distracts from its complexity. Synthesisers cozy up to Afro beat indebted drums , East Asian zithers swim amongst classical string arrangements whilst Ethio- jazz keys dance atop restrained but irresistibly funky drum machine patterns. Inspired to create a cinematic energy they saw the essence of Fellini in their album cover choice, striving to create an album that could exist as a film score.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album exudes a sense of ease, a feeling of lightness that speaks to the virtuosic abilities of the players.The sense of fun is infectious and the playful improvisation is energising. Conceptually inspired by a simple drum loop and single take via the piano the two exist working in a deeply involved flow with collaborations from friends to enhance the initial piano melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 THE TRUE NORTH\u003cbr\u003eA2 FOOD BOWL\u003cbr\u003eA3 CINEMA ROYAL\u003cbr\u003eA4 AFFAIR IN REDONDO\u003cbr\u003eB1 APRYL'S VELVET DRESS\u003cbr\u003eB2 THE ORCHARD DREAM\u003cbr\u003eB3 HER, I\u003cbr\u003eB4 DON'T WAIT FOR US\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49974871916786,"sku":"RS68LP","price":6.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/84cabaa9-be0b-c0ae-aa49-79010de0c746.jpg?v=1787631224","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/cinema-royal-vinyl-1lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
