{"product_id":"the-crave-inner-war-delirium","title":"The Crave - Inner War Delirium [ Vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over two decades Jonathan Katsav has used his Crave project to fray rap at it's fringes, using Memphis and Houston's low-and-slow legacy to inform sounds that have as much in common with Merzbow as they do Tommy Wright III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking under a variety of different monikers such as Lieu Noir, Sniper Bait and Soul Collector, the French producer is most prolific as Crave, and \"Inner War Delirium\" is a substantial and broadly cinematic addition to his canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatsav approaches each track as if it's a scene from a movie, using real life experiences to explore separate characters and contrasting emotions. Using different narrators and disparate vocal styles, he navigates grim, blown-out landscapes, driving neon drenched trap synths and horror choirs against overdriven kicks and waterlogged industrial atmospheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMangled field recordings, squealing static and gurgling synthesized bass opens 'PHYLLIS', goading the cautious with serrated, carnival synths and cacophonous vocals that sway lugubriously between rap and grindcore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between dark and light, death and rebirth, is at the heart of \"Inner War Delirium\", rippling through every track's oozing amalgamation of inebriated hip-hop and buzzsaw noise. Katsav's sounds are an attempt to subject us to the physicality of his own life's puzzle, and he cuts them into vignettes like a director.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the album's final track, listeners are swiped from in front of the speakers and bundled into the trunk of a car, rain rattling on the metal and the album playing on in the distance. It's a way for the producer to turn the camera back on the audience and ask them to consider their own complicated reality - it's Crave's story, but everyone's a part of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54212907401545,"sku":"768558901094","price":3.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4231993-3017837.jpg?v=1776417848","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/the-crave-inner-war-delirium","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
