{"product_id":"serj-tankian-elasticity","title":"Serj Tankian - Elasticity","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe EP is made up of five songs Tankian had originally written several years earlier for a possible System of a Down reunion album that did not come to pass because the other members of the band did not see \"eye-to-eye\" on their suitability. Tankian decided to record the tracks himself with engineers Vlado Meller and Dan Monti and release them under his own name, expecting this action to allow the band to move forward. It is Tankian's first album of original rock and heavy metal-based songs since \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarakiri\u003c\/i\u003e in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album was expected to be released in Fall 2020, but was delayed due to renewed strife between Armenia and Azerbaijan; Tankian instead spent that period engaged in international awareness efforts. The album features some lyrics referencing the 2021 documentary film \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTruth to Power\u003c\/i\u003e, which chronicles Tankian's efforts to gain international recognition for the Armenian Genocide. The title track \"Elasticity\" was released as an advance single and features a music video directed by Vlad Kaptur. The song \"Rumi\" is about Tankian's son and the Persian poet of the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist\" width=\"445\" height=\"78\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" id=\"track1\" style=\"width: 47.05px;\"\u003e1.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 398.033px;\"\u003e\"Elasticity\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist-length\" style=\"width: 94.9167px;\"\u003e4:01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" id=\"track2\" style=\"width: 47.05px;\"\u003e2.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 398.033px;\"\u003e\"Your Mom\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist-length\" style=\"width: 94.9167px;\"\u003e3:19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" id=\"track3\" style=\"width: 47.05px;\"\u003e3.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 398.033px;\"\u003e\"How Many Times?\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist-length\" style=\"width: 94.9167px;\"\u003e4:16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" id=\"track4\" style=\"width: 47.05px;\"\u003e4.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 398.033px;\"\u003e\"Rumi\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist-length\" style=\"width: 94.9167px;\"\u003e5:28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" id=\"track5\" style=\"width: 47.05px;\"\u003e5.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 398.033px;\"\u003e\"Electric Yerevan\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist-length\" style=\"width: 94.9167px;\"\u003e3:46\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"tracklist-total-length\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" colspan=\"2\" style=\"width: 451.083px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41819789557934,"sku":"4050538648942","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/sj_db073b17-3679-4824-ae24-73e5fdebc368.jpg?v=1663101562","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/serj-tankian-elasticity","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
