{"product_id":"the-frames-for-the-birds-music-cd","title":"The Frames - For the Birds Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew albums are rich enough with a sense of place that they transport you to a different landscape. Engineered by famed producer Steve Albini, the Frames' fourth full-length release, For the Birds, is such an album. But instead of dropping you in Ireland, the band's home, or in any other physical location, For the Birds lures the listener to an interior terrain both familiar and remote. Without a single throwaway track, this album deftly escapes pathos, despite its focus on clichéd indie-pop themes of heartache and loss. A slow pulse-like bass line, rueful violin, mesmerizing guitar, and precise percussion underscore but never underplay Glen Hansard's stripped-bare vocals and lyrics. Hansard asks, \"So what happens when the heart just stops \/ Stops caring for anyone?\" He answers, \"The hollow in your chest dries up \/ And you stop believing,\" a response dispelled as too facile by subsequent tracks. \"Headlong\" and \"Santa Maria\" nosedive into torment while \"Early Bird,\" \"Fighting on the Stairs,\" and \"Friends and Foe\" pull out. You're left in the middle of a swirl of conflicted emotions. What's remarkable is that For the Birds, rife with mental rifts and ditches, somehow convinces you that you want to stay there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Deep Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLay Me Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Happens When the Heart Just Stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFighting on the Stairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiving Me Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriends and Foe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Maria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisappointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMighty Sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 036172611126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overcoat Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.23.01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52203853447399,"sku":"419198","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/the-frames-for-the-birds-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
