{"product_id":"bonnie-prince-billy-pond-scum-cd-mint-mint","title":"Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Pond Scum (CD) | Mint Mint","description":"There are no Peel sessions\nanymore - that tradition was buried in the pyramids with John Peel himself upon\nthe great man's passing. Of the thousands left in the wake, six are ascribed to Bonnie 'Prince'\nBilly - and of those six, three have been combined to form the deeply congruous\nexperience of Pond Scum. A span of eight years is covered, in reverse, and many\nchestnuts are rolled out, freed of former contexts with sparse arrangements.\n\"(I Was Drunk at the) Pulpit\" feels, ten years from inception, more\nvividly worn; \"Death to Everyone\" is loosed from its frame, the bones\ndecoupled and spread out, giving the song a reflective air (as opposed the\nbiting declamation of the original); \"Arise, Therefore\" adapts its\nmetronomic base, the evangelic twist of its roots made palpable. With the\ncenter of the performance in stark relief, the gnomic qualities of two\n\"Get On Jolly\" pieces are intensified. Further accenting the devoted\nspirit of this collection is the inclusion of Bonnie's\ntake on Prince's\n\"The Cross\", as well as the previously-unreleased original\n\"Beezle.\"  Bonnie's lone\nshadow casts over this lot, accompanied on the first four tracks by David\nHeumann, but otherwise playing solo through a set of original songs (and two\ncovers) representing a decade of progress in the almost unbearably\nintimate-yet-unknowable manner that was so often the vibe of those strange and\nwondrous days.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Drag City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-DC-646\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bonnie 'Prince' Billy","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":45073273159795,"sku":"PBNE9J-MRQU-CL","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/rock-new_RgTJU.jpg?v=1780687674","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/bonnie-prince-billy-pond-scum-cd-mint-mint","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
