{"product_id":"whatever-the-weather-whatever-the-weather-ii-green","title":"Whatever the Weather - Whatever the Weather II [Green]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross a remarkable run of releases in barely half a decade, London's Loraine James has established her identity through a blend of refined composition, gritty experimentation, and unpredictable, intricate electronic programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile titles released under her given name on Hyperdub tend toward IDM-influenced, vocal-heavy collaborations, James reserves her Ghostly International-signed alias, Whatever the Weather, for an inward gaze that explores innate \"emotional temperature\" and environment (shown in degree-based track titling). Her second full-length is a markedly warmer outing compared to it's predecessor, as signaled by the shift from LP1's arctic cover photo to LP2's desert climes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon to both albums is the mastering work of friend and collaborator Josh Eustis (aka Telefon Tel Aviv), who lends his keen ear to James' complexities to craft a strikingly three-dimensional sonic experience. Flowing from hypnotic atmospheres to mottled rhythms to processed collages of diaristic field recordings, Whatever the Weather II is a compelling union of organic and human elements from one of electronic music's most imaginative talents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead single and closing track to Whatever the Weather's (Loraine James) new LP, \"12°C\", drifts from bustling human spaces into a concrete groove, weaving melody and texture into a truly unusual, soul-stirring fullness. In it's final moments, a languid acoustic guitar and gentle, finger-tapped beat join her pitch-shifted voice. Whatever the Weather II is full of such passages, where formal composition appears like a film in negative, and conventions are upturned with wit, intelligence, and skill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54211946086729,"sku":"804297844633","price":0.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4399087-3317047.jpg?v=1776400576","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/whatever-the-weather-whatever-the-weather-ii-green","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
