{"product_id":"joe-westerlund-curiosities-from-the-shift","title":"Joe Westerlund - Curiosités du changement [2LP]","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e“Curiosities From the Shift” is Joe Westerlund's most daring solo work to date, a drummer's album that opens outward instead of turning inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWesterlund spent five years obsessing over the clave, the rhythmic cell that shaped Afro-Cuban music before quietly seeping into jazz, rock and everything that followed. What fascinated him was its flexibility, the way it could take any shape and still retain its own character. These twelve titles are the result of this obsession meeting his taste for texture and happy coincidences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe three-track opening suite lays the foundation, moving from the dump percussion and bass splashes of “Tem” to the surreal thumb-piano boom-bap of “Can Tangle.” Elsewhere, “Midpoint” struts beneath twinkling metallophones, bird chirps, and flutes that seem to wander off in deep thought, while “Persurverance” – misspelled to match his Wisconsin-by-North Carolina accent – ​​weaves dub delays through gamelan anthems. Friends like Sam Gendel, Tim Rutili, Trever Hagen, and violinists Libby Rodenbough and Chris Jusell respond to his most precisely composed writing in real time, opening up corners he hadn't noticed himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn this double vinyl, groove and abstraction stop clashing to start collaborating. Both bittersweet and catchy, it's the sound of a musician surprised by his own album, and generous enough to let you hear that surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinylestore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910333857869,"sku":"850068258420","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9131\/7325\/files\/Joe_Westerlund-Curiosities_From_the_Shift_2LP.jpg?v=1794005690","url":"https:\/\/vinylestore.shop\/products\/joe-westerlund-curiosities-from-the-shift","provider":"Vinylestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
