{"product_id":"unicorn","title":"Unicorn","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA welcome return from Dundee's finest. Spare Snare might have been caught up in the \"lo fi\" tumult of the mid 90s but since then they've blossomed into something of a national treasure. While the levels are still in the red, there's a maturity and adventurous confidence to the songwriting that is thrilling. Reminding us somewhat of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWire, with terse song structures giving way to and experimentation, there's several points during\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Unicorn that are thrilling, aural pleasures to behold. Opener Hope You Never Go stomps with a frayed acoustic guitar and massive sounding drums and a hooked-up-to-the-nines chorus. Work I Am follows with upbeat dynamics and the sort of lyrical wit that vocalist Jan Burnett should get a national poetry award for. There's still emotive shifts through the album, with bass-heavy Loving Life sounding like a more lyrical Shellac definitely not loving life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chute","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56509261087062,"sku":"MRM-09305","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6088\/9430\/files\/a2694721552_10.jpg?v=1794073740","url":"https:\/\/monorailmusic.com\/products\/unicorn","provider":"Monorail Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
