{"product_id":"strangelet","title":"Strangelet","description":"Amazon.com\n\nOnce the vision and voice behind the critically acclaimed alternative band Grant Lee Buffalo, Grant-Lee Phillips is now a five-album solo artist with an unpretentious shtick: sweeping melodies, narrative lyrics, and a truly hypnotic vocal style. After garnering success in both movie and television soundtracks and releasing a cover record of songs from the '80s underground, the Californian has made perhaps his most intimate recording yet. Phillips plays nearly every instrument (including ukulele) on a dozen songs that crisscross between anguish and optimism, discord and salvation, but are crafted with the deftness of a poet and the ingenuity of a composer. Those that rise to the top display the commanding influences of his '70s youth, most notably the folksy \"Killing a Dead Man,\" which recalls Zuma-era Neil Young, the country-blues singalong \"Hidden Hand,\" and \"Raise the Spirit,\" a down-and-dirty ditty that rattles the woofers as only Marc Bolan could. Still at the top of his game, Phillips is never one to allow his prolific initiative to sour--a formula that bodes well for record six, and all of us lucky enough to hear it. --Scott Holter\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000MTPAEK\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000MTPAEK.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grant-Lee Phillips\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
