{"product_id":"bootblacks-thin-skies-cd","title":"Bootblacks - Thin Skies","description":"\u003cp\u003eBootblacks' first album for Artoffact Records, zooms forward where previous album “Fragments”\r\n(now deleted – few vinyls still available) left off. The nine songs combine a driving, dancefloor\r\npulse with soulful, melodic post-punk, yielding results that are positively anthemic.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Jason Corbett of Artoffact labelmates ACTORS, Thin Skies evokes scenes of\r\ndark days and reckless nights in the urban jungle – a marriage of post-punk emotion and\r\nclubland sweat. Frontman Panther Almqvist's brooding voice captivates as it veers from\r\ndetached cool to deep vulnerability. Guitarist Alli Gorman's hard jangle \"channels the trademark\r\ndelay techniques of [U2's] The Edge,\" in the words of Post-Punk. Keyboardist Barrett Hiatt's\r\narpeggiated synths are the life force pushing the songs relentlessly forward, as Larry Gorman\r\nbashes a mix of acoustic and electronic drums with power and perfection. Backing vocals come\r\ncourtesy of Shannon Hemmett (ACTORS) and Kennedy Ashlyn (SRSQ, Them Are Us Too).\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBootblacks' hometown of New York City is integral to Thin Skies' sound. The band's name\r\nitself is said to be derived from novelist William Burroughs’ description of the dark underbelly\r\nof glitzy NYC. Almqvist states: \"It's an energetic city and people have all the reasons in the\r\nworld not to give you the time of day. I think our music has been shaped by that in many ways.\"\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist_table\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e No.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Track \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Time\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eTraveling Light (feat.
