{"product_id":"oak-island-nightlands","title":"Oak Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe son of a genetic engineer, Dave Hartley has eschewed his father's profession but decidedly inherited his analytical proclivities and love of \"the lab.\" As Nightlands, Hartley is a scientist trying to create and understand art through analytical process. Here, with sophomore album Oak Island, his follow up to 2010's superb Forget the Mantra, new questions are explored: what happens when the human voice is layered exponentially? Nightlands takes us on a spirit quest through lush forests down into The Uncanny Valley. Each distorted, silver-voiced melody is wrapped in the sounds of 70s AM gold - plucked acoustic guitars, trumpets, dulcimers and hand percussion.  Hartley is a prolific sideman in many notable Philadelphia bands and the extraordinary bassist of The War on Drugs. Listeners expecting a simple side project, however, will be surprised by the boldness and scope of his vision--Nightlands is the Chuck Close painting to the The War on Drugs' De Kooning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightlands","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44536194105507,"sku":"SC241cd","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":44536194138275,"sku":"SC241lp","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/6703\/2483\/files\/oak-island-secretly-canadian-sc241.jpg?v=1780685831","url":"https:\/\/secretlystore.com\/products\/oak-island-nightlands","provider":"Secretly Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
