{"product_id":"the-church-starfish-cd-new","title":"The Church - Starfish (CD) | NEW","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the wake of its 1986 album HEYDAY (arguably the finest album of the band's first phase of existence), '80s college rock fave the Church found itself in a position to capitalize on its success. Its follow-up album, STARFISH (1988), contains some of the band's biggest hits, including \"Under the Milky Way,\" while in no way compromising the band's artistic stance--making it one of a notable group of albums that bridge the gap between critical acclaim and commercial success while making absolutely no discernable changes to the artist's sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNearly every track is remarkable. The album opener, \"Destination\" features an epic psychedelic flavor, the spacious dual guitars of Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper, and Steve Kilbey's arresting lyrical imagery (\"In the space between our bodies \/ The air has grown small fingers\"). The above-mentioned \"Under the Milky Way\" features a bagpipe during its rather spectacular instrumental break. Willson-Piper's \"Spark\" is an upbeat and strikingly lush pop song. \"Reptile\" features stunning reverb-drenching guitar work. The list goes on--this is a wonderful record by a band at the height of its powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: 886919863024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ALT\/INDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1988-02-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Church","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *SEALED*","offer_id":45432705187955,"sku":"44TAH6-L45S-VX","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/the-church-starfish_sVQ3Y.jpg?v=1788264413","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/the-church-starfish-cd-new","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
