{"product_id":"under-the-bridge-2-vinyl-2lp","title":"Under The Bridge 2: Vinyl 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder The Bridge 2 is the sequel to the celebrated 2022 compilation album that reunited groups and songwriters who had once recorded for cult label Sarah Records.  The new album showcases the continuing creativity of a special group of musicians who have never rested on their laurels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBigger and more expansive than the first album, Under the Bridge 2 is a double LP, containing twenty brand new tracks.  There is a huge range of material here, from intense, dark chamber pop to dense shoegaze to out-and-out indiepop.  Exciting new groups are unveiled: The Gentle Spring (a new project by Michael Hiscock of The Field Mice); Vetchinsky Settings (a collaboration between Mark Tranmer and James Hackett of The Orchids); and Mystic Village (which features new songs by Robert Cooksey of The Sea Urchins).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will also see familiar starry names like Even As We Speak, The Orchids and Secret Shine - bands whose line-ups have remained mostly unchanged since the 1990s.   And there are established bands who didn’t appear on the first album but are now represented – bands like Action Painting! and The Hit Parade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the tracks are exclusive and unreleased: there’s the first new song from The Catenary Wires since 2021, a brand new fizzbomb from Jetstream Pony, a haunting instrumental from GNAC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emphasis of Under The Bridge is on the new.  The bands’ shared history means they have a shared aesthetic, even a shared ethos – they all believe that the future is more important than the past.  They are as independent and as uncompromising as ever, but they are still uncynical - and still excited about what Pop Music can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gentle Spring - Dodge The Rain (Previously in The Field Mice)\u003cbr\u003eAction Painting! - Just Who Are The Cockleshell Heroes?        \u003cbr\u003eThe Catenary Wires - Alone Tonight  (Previously in Heavenly)                   \u003cbr\u003eThe Hit Parade - Apple Tree          \u003cbr\u003eJetstream Pony - Look Alive!
