{"product_id":"sam-prekop-open-close-1","title":"Sam Prekop - Open Close [Indie Exclusive Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSam Prekop's work over the last 30 years, whether created primarily on his guitar or on his modular synth, is consistent in it's powerful melodicism, delicate arrangements and subtle evolution. Prekop's singular blend of melody, impressionistic lyricism and quietly intricate rhythms are the core of the singular sound of The Sea and Cake. Since 2010's \u003cem\u003eOld Punch Card,\u003c\/em\u003e Prekop's exploration of modular synthesis and electronic atmospheres, has come into its own. Highly skilled at manipulating the sonic interplay, Prekop has established a sytle all his own, his pieces are complex expressing real movement. Harmonies bloom with granular detail and contrary to their machine sources are able to convey emotion. \u003cem\u003eOpen Close\u003c\/em\u003e is an album that captures the flow and energy of a live performance through the lens of a deft craftsman, an equilibrium of intuitive composition and the excitement of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music of Sam Prekop is defined by his signature curiosity and his ability to mold and refine that curiosity into a wholly unique sound. His process in naming album \u003cem\u003eOpen Close\u003c\/em\u003e mirrors his creative practice and the worlds he builds across the album: \"I like simple words that become complicated if you think of them more than a second or two, beyond face value. And \u003cem\u003eOpen Close\u003c\/em\u003e could be: close as in 'close to you' or close as in 'close the door.' If it gives everything away too quickly, then I'm not interested.\" Each movement across \u003cem\u003eOpen Close\u003c\/em\u003e is replete with simple gestures that suggest new complexities with Prekop's careful arrangements. \u003cem\u003eOpen Close\u003c\/em\u003e unearths new, soulfully human sounds from synthetic textures precisely juxtaposed, it's subtle contrasts in texture and rhythm are a free-flowing celebration of sonics as stunning as they are ephemeral.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e1 Open Close\u003cbr\u003e2 Font\u003cbr\u003e3 Para\u003cbr\u003e4 Light Shadow\u003cbr\u003e5 A Book\u003cbr\u003e6 Opera\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47874490892462,"sku":"790377640113","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/R-35202904-1758840894-1029.jpg?v=1779247923","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/sam-prekop-open-close-1","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
