{"product_id":"peter-murphy-silver-shade","title":"Peter Murphy - Silver Shade [2LP]","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSilver Shade is Peter Murphy's tenth solo album and a reminder that the voice that invented all goth vocabulary never actually needed the makeup, spread across 2LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMurphy emerged from the British underground of the late 1970s, as the frontman of Bauhaus, a band that essentially created gothic rock with a nine-minute single about Bela Lugosi, then spent four albums refusing to repeat itself. Five decades later, that baritone is still the most recognizable instrument he owns, and this 2025 recording highlights it rather than burying it in atmosphere. Youth, of Killing Joke, produces, which is exactly the right pairing, someone who understands that menace and melody are not opposites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSwoon opens the album with Trent Reznor contributing the darkness, all industrial grit beneath Murphy's vocals, while Hot Roy struts around with a glam look he's never really relinquished. The title track slows down into something truly majestic, Murphy circling around a melody rather than chasing it, and Let the Flowers Grow closes the album as a duet with Boy George, two survivors from the same era trading verses without needing to prove anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFifty years later, Murphy is still the most theatrical man in any room he enters, and still entirely serious about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinylestore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910332743757,"sku":"782388135313","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9131\/7325\/files\/Peter_Murphy-Silver_Shade_2LP.jpg?v=1794005685","url":"https:\/\/vinylestore.shop\/products\/peter-murphy-silver-shade","provider":"Vinylestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
