{"product_id":"space-alley","title":"Space Alley","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow on Cardinal Fuzz\/Lion recs, Plastic Crimewave Syndicate has finally returned with a wide-ranging\/raging new album -recorded two years ago in an expansive, benevolent alleyway in the midst of a dark, diseased, claustrophobic time of global chaos. The new PCWS album, entitled Space Alley, boldly travels into the relatively unexplored malevolent terrain of free doom, space\/noise punk, and darkly dubbed-out library\/soundtrack grooves (call it 70's crooked-cop show\/freak-funk, if you must). This is all capped off with a sidelong, (beat of the) earth-harvesting modal exploration of synthed-out kraut-throb. With new bassist Rob Rodak (Dead Feathers) aboard, and guests like sax-skronk legend Taralie Peterson (Spires That in the Sunset Rise), flautist Sara Gossett (Spiral Galaxy), and synth lord Will MacLean (Protovulcan), new influences have seeped into PCWS's dystopian vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Syndicate have opened for revered deities like Nik Turner, Loop, Simply Saucer, Chrome, and Josefus; but now a more diverse and groovy array of past underground sounds like Skin Alley, Sound of Imker, Here and Now, Mann\/Sharrock, Black Sun Ensemble, Parson Sound, and Schizo have influenced PCWS's journey. Recorded by Eric Block (Rhys Chatham, Sick Gazelle) of Rec Rooms studios, and mastered by Monster Magnet\/Desert Sessions guitar god JP McBain, the mind-fry level is set to 11 ½ on Space Alley!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plastic Crimewave Syndicate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58230304047487,"sku":null,"price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0525\/5551\/files\/sa.jpg?v=1787216843","url":"https:\/\/thevinyltable.com\/products\/space-alley","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
