{"product_id":"eyelids-a-colossal-waste-of-light-cd","title":"Eyelids - A Colossal Waste Of Light (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEyelids' new album, A Colossal Waste of Light, does an excellent job of framing the quintet as one of today's most compelling purveyors of lopsided guitar pop workouts and earworm-laden vocal melodies. It also proves that great guitar pop can still evoke favorites from a glorious past - the penetrating moodiness of XTC's Black Sea, or R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction, comes to mind - while refusing to waste time on idle nostalgia. On their 4th full-length album (but 17th vinyl offering if you include previous 7\"\"s and EPs) the Portland, OR band also rediscover the beauty of firsts. A Colossal Waste of Light marks the first time the band wrote songs remotely (\"\"it ended up being fun \u0026amp; weird to send out a very simple version of a song and see who came back first with another part for it\"\", John Moen looks back), their first reunion at the Destination: Universe studio post-isolation, and their first batch of melodious new tunes since The Accidental Falls, the band's 2020 project with poet, lyricist and Tim Buckley collaborator Larry Beckett (an extra-ordinary pairing that allowed Eyelids' two frontmen\/tunesmiths, Chris Slusarenko and John Moen, to find a new, multilayered appreciation for the art of songcraft).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51596393021735,"sku":"843563141366","price":14.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4172943-2943280.jpg?v=1783417205","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/eyelids-a-colossal-waste-of-light-cd","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
