{"product_id":"body-of-light-bitter-reflection-cd","title":"Body Of Light - Bitter Reflection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest effort from Arizona desert brotherhood Alex and Andrew Jarson aka Body Of Light further hones their smoldering strain of tempestuous synth-pop into a transformative suite of anthems, reveries, and reckonings: Bitter Reflection. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in the wake of 2019’s neo-EBM classic, Time To Kill, they sifted inspiration from hidden moments within their own arcana – childhood tapes, home movies, abandoned demos – asking themselves the question: “How can we make this grow?” Sampled snippets of voice, noise, synth, and field recordings flicker in the periphery of these 11 tracks, murmuring like nostalgias half-forgotten, or displaced memories. It’s music pulled between twin flames of truth and desire, romanticization and reality, catharsis and control, born of a bond sealed by years, dreams, and blood.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with Telefon Tel Aviv co-founder Josh Eustis in Los Angeles, the brothers incorporated an expanded array of live instrumentation – piano, bass, saxophone, acoustic guitar – in addition to vintage Akai samplers, Moogs, and archaic hardware, giving the album an eclectic, unpredictable palette. Opener “Get It Right” showcases their impressive refinement: sleekly cold drum machinery builds to a swooning chorus of synths and piano, then suddenly slips into a dream sequence bridge of strummed guitar and echo-shrouded vocals, before surging back to the main melody. Throughout, the songs shift gears and moods in evocative ways, as if bending to fleeting thoughts or lengthening shadows. Simmering synth lament “Strike The Match” captures the Jarsons’ unique technique of co-crafted lyrics, accruing meaning as the world turns; though written long before, the track ended up being recorded the day Russia invaded Ukraine (“I fall asleep to the candlelight \/ things will be different but not tonight \/ it wouldn’t be like you to strike the match \/ over and over, I can’t understand”).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist_table\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e No.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Track \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eGET IT RIGHT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eSTRIKE THE MATCH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eTHIS CONVERSATION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eFORTIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eBITTER REFLECTION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eOUT OF SEASON\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eNEVER EVER\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eON THIS DAY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eHYENA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eLAST REPOSE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eDEEPCOLORLIGHTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/3Cfv24UHQUY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"pop-o-naut","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57972244316534,"sku":"683950556355","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/4859\/4550\/files\/bol_683950556355_cc4a0f8b-d3e0-492b-9a4b-0e9641e9d783.jpg?v=1780316261","url":"https:\/\/poponaut.com\/en\/products\/body-of-light-bitter-reflection-cd","provider":"POPoNAUT - Ticket- und Musikversand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
