{"product_id":"pill-soft-hell-lp","title":"Pill - Soft Hell [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoft Hell, Pill’s second full-length album for Mexican Summer, is a raucous, splintering dispatch from New York City, animated by the madcap ingenuity of a foursome finding a palpable sense of joy and play in expressions of caustic, black humor. Like the contradiction of the album title, which references our acceptance of everyday miseries, it’s a slew of dichotomies, a frenzied cutup. It’s bleeding saxophone and lustrous feedback sounding somehow pastoral, and winking hooks subtly infused with venom.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe expansive, charred psychedelia of Pill’s early sound — textured by homemade, circuit-bent instruments and custom effects by guitarist Jon Campolo’s brother Nick — has morphed into something more compact and mischievous but no less evocative. It’s also the most hook-laden, melodic statement in the band’s catalog to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Hell, like its Mexican Summer predecessor Convenience, carries forward a free-associative ensemble feel, with the players finding room for intuitive subtleties and melodic interplay even in the most skeletally spare compositions. They play post-punk, maybe no wave, mostly insofar as the terms are far-reaching creative passports.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA.I.Y.M?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHAHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSin Compromiso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Hell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSofter Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble Think\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidtown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Abuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184923125115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e MEXICAN SUMMER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.26.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEXICAN SUMMER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233589854510,"sku":"n184923125115","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/parkavecds.shop\/products\/pill-soft-hell-lp","provider":"Park Ave CDs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
