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 Syd Barrett An Introduction To Syd Barrett Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd December 2022 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Syd Barrett An Introduction To Syd Barrett £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 0190295037383 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wedding Present, The Huw Stephens Sessions Rock And Pop | Clue Records | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 13th May 2022 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wedding Present, The Huw Stephens Sessions £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Clue Records SKU: HAT25V Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 13th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Only Ones Only Ones Rock And Pop | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 26th July 2007 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Only Ones Only Ones £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN82830 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th July 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abba The Day Before You Came Rock And Pop | UMR / Polydor | 7", Picture Disc Released 1st December 2023 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba The Day Before You Came £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR / Polydor SKU: 5507437 Formats: 7", Picture Disc Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Avalanches, The Wildflower Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 2LP, CD Released 8th July 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Avalanches, The Wildflower £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XLLP755 Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 8th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil Young On The Beach Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 5th September 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil Young On The Beach £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 09362493849 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View It Hugs Back Inside Your Guitar Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 26th July 2009 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders It Hugs Back Inside Your Guitar £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: CAD2830 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th July 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists So, This Is Christmas Rock And Pop | UMC | 2LP Released 10th October 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists So, This Is Christmas £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5382937 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gary Numan I, Assassin Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th February 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gary Numan I, Assassin £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBQLP40 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sinead O'Connor Am I Not Your Girl?
