{"product_id":"last-days-on-earth-purple-preorder","title":"Last Days On Earth - Purple","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple Vinyl. German post-punk band Onyon scrambled our brains when we heard them, so much so that we signed them \u0026amp; reissued their debut cassette EP in June of '22. \"Last Days On Earth\" is the band's latest for Trouble In Mind. The oddball, synth-soaked world of Onyon is disorienting at first - the band's herky-jerky rhythms may operate in a familiar fashion to bands like Devo, or LITHICS, but Maria Untheim's woozy synth squiggles populate \u0026amp; punctuate the band's songs, flirting with the primitive cool of 80's minimal-synth and the wire-haired cretinism of 60s garage. Guitarist Ilka Kellner rages unpretentiously with edges torn \u0026amp; frayed, never afraid to unleash a spindly lead line over Florian Schmidt's rubbery bass lines \u0026amp; Mario Pongratz's stuttering drum patterns. Kellner \u0026amp; Untheim share vocal duties, but the real magic comes when the two sing together, voices merging in loosely harmonic gang vocals; one deadpan, the other slightly unhinged. The group's beguiling lyrics add to the mystique - inscrutable neu-world fables about egg machines, ghosts, worms that talk and urges to consume newspaper that ooze a rural, old-world understanding of life \u0026amp; the imperceptible spaces in between reality \u0026amp; fiction, transmuted thru a modernist sci-fi lens flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlien Alien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Talking Worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Egg Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Goldie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Two Faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dogman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blue Lagoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yahtzee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Invisible Spook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Would Like To Eat The Newspaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e O.U.T.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53092434575696,"sku":"6.50E+11","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/2762\/2480\/files\/4239928-3032648.jpg?v=1780315964","url":"https:\/\/noirrecordsuk.com\/products\/last-days-on-earth-purple-preorder","provider":"Noir Records Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
