Guitar Dream David Vassalotti SKU: WCR082LP Barcode: 0843563106839 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wharf Cat Released Date: 25th January 2019 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Although perhaps best known as lead guitarist for 4AD’s Merchandise, on his third solo album, ‘Guitar Dream’, David Vassaloti’s abilities as a songwriter and multiinstrumentalist are finally given an opportunity to shine, thanks in no small part to the production and engineering talents of co-conspirator and Merchandise frontman Carson Cox. A quasi-breakup album voiced through a protean pastiche of dejected characters, ‘Guitar Dream’ finds Vassalotti at his most up-front and confessional. While 2015’s genrespanning Broken Rope was interspersed with loops, samples and sound-collages, ‘Guitar Dream’ features more straightforward songwriting that is reminiscent of Merchandise’s melancholic post-punk balladry, albeit with an added dose of gravitas. Fractured glam, keyboard trumpets and, yes, the occasional guitar solo prop up Vassalotti’s dynamic yet unpolished vocals, which are ghostified by blankets of delay and reverb. While the beautifully sad guitar line on opening track ‘This Extravagant Lie’ sets the tone for the album in just four bars, outliers like ‘Let It Burn’ shift to a minor key and themes of destruction, before closer ‘What Shall You Say Tonight’, with its oscillating synths and a punctuating yelp, wakes us up from the dream on a hopeful note. “Vassalotti is simply one of the most brilliant and inventive guitarists of the past decade” – NME “His knack for building a hook with little flash evokes how Lawrence could make Felt songs feel both poignant and giddy” – Pitchfork “Vassalotti sings visceral poetry… over steadily paced layers of guitar” – The Fader Artist David Vassalotti Genre Rock And Pop Label Wharf Cat Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings This Extravagant Lie The Other Light The Light In The Garden Devenir immortel… The Lines Between Us Let It Burn Manifest Destiny Outlines What Shall You Say Tonight Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Marisa Anderson & William Tyler Lost Futures Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th August 2021 £26.00 - £29.00 Select options Marisa Anderson & William Tyler Lost Futures £26.00 - £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th August 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Kill It Kid You Owe Nothing Rock And Pop | Sire | 1LP Released 10th November 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kill It Kid You Owe Nothing £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sire SKU: 1542525 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pink Floyd Animals 2018 Remix Rock And Pop | Pink Floyd Records | 180g, 1LP, BluRay Audio, Box Set, CD, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th September 2022 £12.00 - £58.00 Select options Pink Floyd Animals 2018 Remix £12.00 - £58.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pink Floyd Records Formats: 180g, 1LP, BluRay Audio, Box Set, CD, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Durutti Column, The LC Rock And Pop | Factory Benelux | 2LP, Includes 7" Released 6th May 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Durutti Column, The LC £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Factory Benelux SKU: FBN10 Formats: 2LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 6th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bryde The Volume of Things Rock And Pop | Easy Life | 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bryde The Volume of Things £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Easy Life SKU: ELIFE022V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View LNZNDRF II Rock And Pop | LNZNDRF | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th October 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders LNZNDRF II £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: LNZNDRF SKU: LNZ002LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Omni Multi-task – Indies Only Rock And Pop | Trouble In Mind | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd September 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Omni Multi-task – Indies Only £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Trouble In Mind SKU: TIM124LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daughter 4AD Session Rock And Pop | 4AD | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 22nd May 2014 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daughter 4AD Session £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: BAD3418 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alex Harvey And His Soul Band Shout!
