{"product_id":"future-elevators","title":"Future Elevators ( Vinyl ) { Vinyl }","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release. Michael Shackelford first wrote down the words �future� and �elevators� a few years ago on a rough instrumental demo. The music never grew into a finished song, but that simple, surprisingly evocative phrase stuck. It's an apt phrase for one of Birmingham's most original musical acts. Shackelford-the group's founder, mainstay, and guiding creative force-is something of a pop confectioner who thinks up impossible sounds and makes them a reality. His self-titled debut as Future Elevators expertly mixes whimsy and gravity, the fantastical with the everyday. Even as he grounds his lyrics in real-world issues, he fills his songs with new and improbable combinations of familiar sounds: the jagged pastoral folk of �Alabama Song�, the Rube Goldberg blues riffs of �Machine Maker�, the retro-futuristic R\u0026amp;B of �Modern World�, the warm drone of the ten-minute instrumental closer �Aphrodite�. Shackelford spent a year piecing his debut album together. Recording with him was Lynn Bridges (Devendra Banhart\/Dexateens) and the album was mixed by Darrell Thorp (Radiohead\/Beck).","brand":"Future Elevators","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775410479449,"sku":"882167000426.0","price":3.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4236\/6809\/files\/3226642.jpg?v=1775793468","url":"https:\/\/eurovinyl.shop\/products\/future-elevators","provider":"EUROVINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
