{"product_id":"weeks-island-droste","title":"Weeks Island- Droste (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weeks Island project began in 2018 when, itching for something during a break from his gig playing guitar for the Grammy-winning Cajun group Lost Bayou Ramblers, Jonny Campos ventured to his bandmate's house and recorded a series of deep, amoebic, ambient pedal steel passages across two afternoons. It wasn't all heavy, though: he paid that bandmate, Kirkland Middleton, in Cane's chicken strips. The tracks on Droste are named for bodies of water that no longer exist, their names wiped from maps thanks to the disintegrating shorelines of Southern Louisiana. That feeling of impermanence hangs over this record - the tracks don't so much begin and end as slip in and out of your consciousness. It can be a serene passive listen or a deep one that marinates long after the runout. Droste originally appeared on Nouveau Electric Records, run by another Rambler, Louis Michot, in 2020, digitally and on cassette. DFA picked it up via an connection from LCD Soundsystem's Korey Richey, and began a years-long process to cut the record to vinyl, a task made difficult by the sharp pedal steel and waves of harmonic distortion that color the music. After more than a few tries and the addition of three brand new tracks, Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service nailed it, and it was pressed beautifully at Furnace Record Pressing in Alexandria, VA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003ePoint Fortuna\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Raccoon Island\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Fleur Pond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Bayou la Chute\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Cyprien Bay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Yellow Cotton Bay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Locust Pond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Grace Pond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46281439838429,"sku":"829732000146","price":186.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4386877-3290228.jpg?v=1741878132","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/weeks-island-droste","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
