{"product_id":"dream-life-gold-vinyl-lp","title":"Dream Life: Gold Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eItalian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi returns with Dream Life, an album that bustles in a field of dreams, a multi-dimensional panoramic snapshot punctuated with serene disillusionment, that transcends musical boundaries as personal hopes and aspirations are cast against the vastness of the stars and beyond.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe record opens with Antarctica, addressing the world’s ethical dilemma and shaking us out of our comfort zone with a riff reminiscent of Talking Heads in their prime, infused with Laurie Anderson-like abstract phrasing.  While Neon Lights underlines the sentiment but tackles it on a more personal level, its fuzzy guitars and roaming bass offering a harsher slice of rebellious self-exploration set in a symphonic swirl of sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“My previous album Selva had a poetic and bucolic nature - in my head I can picture each song as an oil painting - Dream Life has a more contemporary approach, with lyrics touching political and social issues, a more explicit personal storytelling and a more defined pop sound. It’s more like a photobook, more defined and detailed”. - Marta Del Grandi \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Further into Dream Life, Alpha Centauri is a haunting introspective slice of pop magic that allows Marta’s gorgeous vocal to prowl in nostalgia for teenage times, rediscovering her inner child while a distant tuba carries a counter melody. The title track examines the quantum leap between reality and our dreams and ambitions, a counter point to Shoe Shaped Cloud and its brooding study of a relationship gone awry that’s propelled by an aching vocal which recalls Radiohead at their most brittle.  \u003cbr\u003eThe album reflects a growing awareness that we cannot fully control the future or the outcome of our plans. This thread weaves throughout the record, a journey that is poetic, ironic, and deeply grounded in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1 You Could Perhaps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2 Dream Life\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3 Antarctica\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA4 20 Days of Summer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA5 Alpha Centauri\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1 Shoe Shaped Cloud\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2 Neon Lights\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3 Gold Mine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4 Some Days (feat.
