{"product_id":"they-are-gutting-a-body-of-water-a-country-western-an-insult-to-the-sport","title":"They Are Gutting a Body of Water \/ A Country Western - An Insult to the Sport LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Insult to the Sport\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a split offering from the genre-defiant groups They are Gutting a Body of Water and A Country Western. Elements of breakcore, shoegaze, and obtuse slacker rock find home on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Insult\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, at times with no bridge at all between the disparate styles. In TAGABOW’s “The Brazil”, a stop-on-a-dime is the only thing that separates hazy slowcore and adventurous drum n bass, unambiguous evidence of the band’s penchant for iconoclast composition. A Country Western’s side of the split entertains similar stylistic mashups, opening with the atmospheric jungle of “Lung” before lurching into the alt-rock “Keeping up with the Joneses”, whose fuzzed-out lead riff calls back to bygone eras. On paper, the combination of styles may read as cacophonous or incompatible, but the end result is instead a measured contrast of sounds, a reflection of the inescapable influence of our chaotic time and the groups’ environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Topshelf Records","offers":[{"title":"Blue in Purple 10\" Vinyl","offer_id":49117817667862,"sku":"TSR258-1LE","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue in Transparent Red 10\" Vinyl","offer_id":49117817700630,"sku":"TSR258-1LE2","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180g Black 10\" Vinyl","offer_id":49117817733398,"sku":"TSR258-1","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0526\/6454\/files\/PhotoMay022023_121228PM.jpg?v=1746761566","url":"https:\/\/topshelf-records.com\/products\/they-are-gutting-a-body-of-water-a-country-western-an-insult-to-the-sport","provider":"Topshelf Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
