{"title":"PRODUCTS","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"12420","title":"jj - V (LP)","description":"Until now, this band’s story has been a disappointing one, a cautionary tale of diminishing returns. The mysterious, perpetually blazed Swedish duo came on strong but burned out early with the cheap high of “Ecstasy.” They made wistful Balearic indie pop that vaporized on impact (can’t stop with these weed puns). Between their spotlight-shy persona, their bad reputation for showing up to live shows too wasted to function (or just not showing up at all), and the fact that they were entirely content to lift whole choruses from chart-topping pop hits rather than write a decent melody of their own, it’s no wonder they’d all but vanished from the popular radar by 2012, only four years into their career. Back then, they were called jj. Now, they’re back, and they’re called JJ. The first single from V is titled “All White Everything,” but they might as well have called it “ALL CAPS EVERYTHING.” The ingredients are all the same: a lush, somber swirl of strings, piano, guitar, and steel drums, but always leaning awkwardly towards the synths and slang of mainstream club-friendly rap. Here, though, it’s all bolder, fuller, and, well, better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn V’s “Inner Light,” Elin Kastlander sings, “When I’m up in the club, I won’t be on them drugs,” before adding, “If you show me love, you might get a hug, but if you don’t, then I won’t care at all.” Not only does this lyric simultaneously reference both “Ecstasy” and a Robyn song, thereby neatly summarizing all of JJ’s major themes (drugs, pop music, romantic longing), it also demonstrates the way in which the band’s turned its own deeply engrained #DGAF philosophy around 180 degrees, spinning slackerdom’s cheap, toxic apathy into glittering bigtime pop-star dreams, hearts wide open and haters be damned. The opening title track from new LP V dips into the exact same sparkling keyboard hook as “Things Will Never Be The Same Again,” the opening song from their breakthrough LP jj no. 2, only to cut it off abruptly and begin anew with the walloping, widescreen “Dynasti.” If I told you that “Inner Light” climaxes with a bona fide electric guitar solo, would you believe me?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParticularly because of their noted tendency to bite the hooks from more famous pop songs, Kastlander and her JJ cohort Joakim Benon have always seemed exceptionally lazy, unable to concentrate, as if they’d really rather be out dancing to those pop songs rather than in the studio recording their own. On V, they play the magpies once again, but the fragmentary citations augment the songs rather than drive them, setting the emotional tenor but never standing clearly in the spotlight. “Hold Me” sounds like it’s another of the duo’s one-trick-pony radio-ripping bangers, but the bottomed-out beat and pitched-down vocal samples collapse into a swooning string-laden reverie that’s more Sigur Ros than Lil Jon. “Dream a little, dream of me,” Kastlander murmurs on “When I Need You,” but although her words are some of twentieth-century pop’s best-known, what matters here is the stark, stirring pairing of a simple steel drum hook and violin flourishes, and later, on the slick, tough pop-punk of “All Ways, Always,” she picks up the thread of the earlier allusion and makes something actually interesting out of it when she says she doubts whether “there was even a dream of me.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“All Ways, Always” loses its way somewhere along the line and ends up stargazing over somber piano chords. This is indicative of V, which bursts with ambitious arrangements that meander with purpose; on every track, luminous songwriting decisions abound. “All White Everything” is the album’s most successfully massive moment, a song that blows both heartbroken power balladry and dancefloor-baiting chart-pop up to a scale so grand, the two modes become indistinguishable. Particularly stunning is “Full,” which blooms slowly into a series of cyclical phrases as inevitable and exquisite as the chorus of “Beth\/Rest.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last time JJ released an album, debates about racial appropriation in pop were nowhere near as commonplace as they are today. If Lorde can get raked over the coals for “Royals,” I shudder to think what’s headed these white Swedes’ way for their more-painful-than-ever “ironic” cooption of rap slang – to take one example, “All Ways, Always” finds Kastlander spouting stuff like, “I got bitches all up in my mess, I can’t fuck wit y’all.” It would be simple and probably very appropriate to take JJ to task for the politics of their lyrics, but words aside, it’s unlikely anyone will take issue with JJ’s immaculate instincts as pop songwriters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRETTY MUCH AMAZING","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124975919275,"sku":"12420","price":249.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/600x600.jpg?v=1603266528"},{"product_id":"12432","title":"Walter TV - Appetite (color vinyl) (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWalter TV came into a full state of being around 2011 when multi-talented musicians Pierce McGarry and Joe McMurray moved from their home of Vancouver, B.C. into a house in Montreal with goof-pop solo artist Mac DeMarco and a host of other creative types. The band had recently gone from a trio to a duo, and shortly after their move McMurray and McGarry would sign on as the touring rhythm section for DeMarco's increasingly busy touring schedule, but before that transition, they crafted Appetite, the gloriously strange debut full-length from the Walter TV project. Though they would often be misrepresented in the press as \"DeMarco's other band,\" DeMarco has no credits on Appetite, and the closer one listens to the album, the further it gets from his low-key stoner pop sound. A far better reference point would be the more manic side of Animal Collective, with McGarry's jubilant, chorus-drenched howls on songs like \"Lo Noise\" sounding remarkably like Avey Tare's shouts on his band's more rock-oriented breakthrough album, Feels. There are elements of surfy guitar and saturated home-recording production at play, too, and the best elements of Walter TV's bustling approach to songwriting come together nicely on dynamic tracks like \"Africa.\" This song's striding bassline pushes the verses along in a jumpy rush until the pleasantly obnoxious screams of the choruses offer some relief from the building tension of the song. \"Puka Shell Necklace\" is perhaps the nexus point of the various influences informing Walter TV's strange and anxiously catchy sound. A bleary-eyed tempo guides brash, direct-input acoustic guitars and highly effected, trippy vocals in a rush of laid-back watery sounds. It's not slacker pop or freak folk, and not really anywhere in between, either, but Walter TV do offer up their own demented look at pop that wanders between all these various modes like a child happily lost at an amusement park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u57a-KnZIbo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124976017579,"sku":"12432","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/a1814615002_10.jpg?v=1603266531"},{"product_id":"12434","title":"Walter TV - Blessed (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lhbcGU9phD0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlightly more produced, yet no less ragged than their 2012 debut Appetite, Canadian duo Walter TV's sophomore LP Blessed is a pastiche of tone-bright art-pop and lo-fi garage slack. The band originated as a trio in Vancouver, but eventually headed east to Montreal where core members Pierce McGarry and Joseph McMurray recorded Appetite at an apartment they shared with Mac Demarco. In the years between Appetite's release and the making of Blessed, the two musicians also served as DeMarco's touring rhythm section, and their close association with the singer\/songwriter has led to frequent comparisons in sound and style. While it's true that Walter TV's fluttering, four-track psych romps share certain similarities with DeMarco's woozy stoner pop, they continue to cut their own path on the ten-song Blessed. The ample tape hiss, stick-click count-offs, loose outros, and overall homemade nature of the recording belies the detailed song construction on standout tracks like \"Candles,\" \"Walter's Kaya,\" and the roughshod but clever \"Fan.\" The vocals are almost uniformly processed through some type of chorus effect, giving McGarry's falsetto vocal stylings an eerie, warbling timbre. Similarly, the guitars have a sharp bite that wavers between shimmery and shrill. In fact, the all-consuming lo-fi aesthetic almost feels like a third bandmember and at its most severely employed, can either come off as charming (\"Paranormal Witness\") or just irritating (\"Punk Song\"). Ultimately, Walter TV seem to take themselves seriously enough to write some interesting and artfully hooky pop songs, though their ramshackle presentation demands that listener will have to put up with their intentionally raw shenanigans in order to enjoy them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124976148651,"sku":"12434","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/walter6-1.jpg?v=1603266533"},{"product_id":"12436","title":"Burning Tree - Lammergyer (LP) nm","description":"\u003cp\u003eBurning Tree - Lammergyer (LP) nm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124976246955,"sku":"12436","price":299.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/Burning-Tree-Lammergyer.jpg?v=1603266535"},{"product_id":"12460","title":"Abram Shook - Landscape Dream (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rPTQTZFOZUo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten on guitar and later arranged for a smooth, trippy, effects-compiled sound, Abram Shook's sophomore album, Landscape Dream, blends mellow '70s psychedelia, dream pop, island atmospheres, and funky rhythms for a relaxed and textured lo-fi ride.

In everyday life we take many things for granted as we get used to them. Due to routine and out of habit we even often cannot imagine other ways of how things are being done or perceived than those we are familiar with. With the Reflexivity Series we pose questions that probably can’t be answered in a definitive way. Possible answers will vary from individual to individual. But isn’t this the case with almost everything in life? However, we hope that the mere fact of posing questions and switching perspectives might result in some valuable insights or at least a few moments of fruitful, intriguing mental traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWindsurfer’s music stems from an appetite for electronic sounds; sounds that get mixed organically with percussion while still wearing signs of a certain human touch on their surface. Imagine ample atmospheric patterns characterized by a certain slow but steady constancy, which in turn gets questioned only occasionally by subtle irregularities. And while you listen, the minutes pass by, and as time flies you are slowly being led to another point than the one where you’ve been in the beginning of the song. The basis of all this is mere repetition. Similar to driving up a pass in the mountains you’ll get the feeling that you approach the top too slowly. But there is no straight way up! And as the car makes its curves you look out of the window and see the same countryside passing by – again and again – the air is hot – And while the top gets closer and closer you forget that your listening to music until it slows down. And as it finally stops you suddenly notice that 10 minutes vanished.

Ed. Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTendencies In The Contemporary Swiss Underground Music Scene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf I am honest, I am not really sure what I am writing about. I could go the easy road and call it garage. But what does this word imply? A few youngsters mistreating their instruments in the basement of their parents house without any real amibitions. Boh!\u003cbr\u003eDuring the past few years some friends and I did a few things I could observe in other Swiss towns at the same time. And that’s why we want to realize this compilation: In order to make a statement that there is something undeniably happening across Switzerland even though we do not really have a clear idea of what it is.\u003cbr\u003eThere were a few stable lines that kept a certain weak pattern together that was not easily noticable at first sight, but when comparing concert programs and internet sites gets visible quite fast. A particular and well known characteristic of Switzerland is the diversity of different cultures. In all its language areas over the years certain initiatives linked to a particular taste of music and lifestyle evolved that can be somehow linked under the label «Garage». However, notions of the kind like stating that there is a «garage» scene in Switzerland are most of the time critical. Critical first because «garage» is quite a blurry concept and second because the word scene implies a certain unity that is simply not given in this case. What is a scene? And from which moment on can one speak of such a phenomenon? Difficult to say. We leave it to others to decide. In his introduction text below Philip Niederberger bows out the scene concept by simply stating «Garage-Punk is not a scene, because scenes are shit.» We agree on that and leave the scene thing to Turbojugend and Co. Sure, parallels in taste, clothing style and record collections are undeniable. However, it is much more a striking similarity in patterns of music and «ways of doing» that make people from different places in Switzerland stumble over each other from time to time. The felt need to organize shows, play in bands, realize records or simply not to go home before the sun rises knits the people together that in some way or another have contributed or are represented on this record.\u003cbr\u003eFor practical reasons we call the «thing» «garage». In Switzerland garage was linked to a handful of persons eversince. The current phenomenon can mainly be pinned down by highlighting a few geographical spots and venues. The following estimation is made of nothing more than personal impressions. I dont claim to speak thruth therewith, however doing my best to reach a decent level of accuracy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost probably the origins of the contemporary Swiss garage scene can be linked to the capital of Switzerland – Bern and in particular to the person of Beat Zeller. Born in the sixties he started with «The Monsters» in 1986 and set up his record label «Voodoo Rhythm» in 1992. Call him the godfather of swiss garage or whatever, like his music or not. In almost all narrations underlying this compilation you will be confronted with his name. First with Psychobilly, later with trashy and wild garage tracks all marked by Beat’s (Beatman) unique way of screaming, «The Monsters» someway kicked off a movement that was very different from the punk that had been very popular in the 90s. Rather than politics or cultural pessimism their sound was about Wrestling, Girls and a whole lot of weird stuff. Today more than 20 years later both, the band and the label are still around. Bandwise Bern is represented on this Compilation with «The Jackets», «The Budget Boozers», «The Shit» and «The Monsters» \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, there is the Lucerne section that evolved around ominous «Memphisto Produktion». Already in the early nineties here and there a few garage bands passed by.. Among others «The Gories», «Billy Childish» or «The New Bomb Turks» played in venues in Lucerne. However, these were rather occasional concerts than the reflection of a clear vision or masterplan. Then in the late 1990s a group around Philipp Niederberger started setting up shows in the region mainly being active in the legendary «Sedel» outside the town of Lucern. Since then «Memphisto Produktion» has been responsible for some of the greates shows in the country and moreover had the luck to have a few very talented graphic artist involved who are responsible for some of the most outstanding show posters around. Bandwise on this sampler there are «Shady and The Vamp» and «Thee Heinz». However, there are more groups from Lucerne like «King Gin Club», «The Gegus» or «Brain Tilt» that keep things moving in central Switzerland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Zürich the garage scene has been very puzzling and undefined until recently when in June 2013 a small group started doing shows under the label «Elmo Delmo» at the Badenerstrasse in a temporary use facility. Down in the parking garage of a former office house that for a short period could be used for all kind of artsy purposes a jauntily atmosphere reigned when bands like «White Fence» or «Natural Child» played there. Knitted to «Comet Substance»’ refreshing graphic design the label «Elmo Delmo» very fast provoked attention. Sadly a few months ago Zürichs «new hope» shut its doors for the last time after a short and impressive history. Despite of the «Elmo Delmo» Zürich was a blind spot for garage music for many years. On this sampler Switzerland biggest town is represented by «Fai Baba» who does his own brand of ambitious lo-fi garage pop. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneva builds a sharp contrast to Zürich. As a major hotspot for garage music not least due to the initiative «Rock This Town» started by Dunja Stanic Girod it is probably the place where currently the biggest energy is around. There are the fantastic dudes from «Mama Rosin» who made their own kaleidoscopic musical universe come true with «Moi J’Connais» records and recently opened the record store «Bongo Joe» in Geneva. Being responsible for a heavy load of the most incredible shows throughout the last years «Rock This Town» keeps on moving and gives rise to younger initiatives like «What We Do». In Geneva the scene seems to be the incredibly loyal and growing fastly. Whenever I was the venues were packed and people were enthusiastic. Moreover there are new promising bands like «The Staches» made up of people that do not care about a quotidiane lifestyle and simply want to tour whenever possible and wherever they get invited to. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Italian speaking part of Switerland we have got Damiano Merzari from the Pussywarmers (Voodoo Rhythm Records). In his text he gives us an impression how things are going on on the south side of the alps. By the means of a dizzling listing of crucial events of his life we get invited to Damiano’s musical universe. It gets clear that often times it is more about issues of way of life than mere music – Skateboarding, poster design, friendship, drugs and simply being active. Recently I’ve seen more and more shows taking place in Lugano. It seems that future is promising down there! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally there is St. Gallen, the town where I am located. What shall I say about that place. The foundation for my mind to take off was a particular combination of a great record store, stunning people and places that give space for bands to make their music. A few years ago bands like «Les Chevaux Sauvages» and «The Haunted Swamp Beasts» formed. Then there came Elias Raschle with his as weird as beautiful solo-project «Augenwasser», who is now playing drums for «Roy \u0026amp; the Devil’s Motorcycle». Then recently new projects like «Mystery Park», «Late Late Show», «Uriella» and «The Electric Unicorns» did follow. On this compilation St. Gallen is represented by «Augenwasser», «Les Chevaux Sauvages» and «The Midnight Jerks» who actually are from the neighbouring region and even Germans. However they found there way into the Swiss garage swamp and even have their own stronghold in Kreuzlingen – the «Horst Klub» that opened its doors a few months ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA great deal of bands playing in the mentioned places and towns are from abroad and mostly the United States. The same holds true for the shows I organize. It is great to have all this interesting people and bands from the other side of the world here. However, a goal of this compilation is to shift perception away to what is actually happening around us. «La Suisse Primitive» is a statement for bands that are from your town, your region. What a small number of people is doing in Lucerne, Geneva, Bern, Lugano, Zürich, St. Gallen and elsewhere is proof of how solid the foundations for further development are. In the end it is up to everyone of us to get active and shape the places where we are living. Let it be your task to make sure - wherever you live - that at least good music is around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eMama Rosin – Anatolia \/ Ghost Story\u003cbr\u003eMidnight Jerks – Gored\u003cbr\u003eLes Chevaux Sauvages – Hey Little Girl\u003cbr\u003eThe Shit – Asshole\u003cbr\u003eShady \u0026amp; the Vamp – Rock \u0026amp; Roll \u0026amp; Gin\u003cbr\u003eAdieu Gary Cooper – Si je parle dans mon someil\u003cbr\u003eFai Baba – Who’s Dead\u003cbr\u003eThe Monsters – Bumble Bee\u003cbr\u003eThe Jackets – You Better\u003cbr\u003eThe Revox – Shilly Shally\u003cbr\u003eThee Heinz – Drive\u003cbr\u003eAugenwasser – Raw Mickey Mouse Power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack vinyl 12\" (180g), gatefold packaging, every record got a unique artwork\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 1000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124977033387,"sku":"12528","price":379.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/LSP-004.png?v=1603266548"},{"product_id":"12535","title":"Ellis - The Fuzz (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEllis - The Fuzz (LP)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124977131691,"sku":"12535","price":299.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/a2348063857_10.jpg?v=1603266550"},{"product_id":"12551","title":"Simba Morri - Celebrating Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eSimba Morri - Celebrating Life\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124977197227,"sku":"12551","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/R-6942892-1430055176-7479_jpeg.jpg?v=1603266552"},{"product_id":"12613","title":"Friends With Benefits Too (180Gram LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe all have it. “FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS” hit the shelves and changed lives with South Africa’s best electronic compilation to date.

Each record is a thoughtfully tailored whole made up of music, graphics, photographs and texts allowing the audience a glimpse into the artists’ musical worlds. In general it is not easy to get an idea of how things happen “there”, as these “worlds” often somewhat resemble scratching tickets; with each layer you remove something new reveals itself. Accordingly we want to invite you to do some “layer-scratching” yourself. Hopefully you will find your way by listening, reading, seeing, and feeling – jumping back and forth between Starcleaners’ studio in a basement below a restaurant in the fifth district of Zurich and Rick’s home in an old factory in Hamburg. And on the way you might find something essential for yourself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll in all the transnational series encompasses a number of eight split records. Each of them brings the music of two artists together that we deem to match. The underlying idea is to place the work of an artist in a completely new context. However, we do not want to put things together that make no sense. It is important for us that each artist finds himself on a record with a counterpart that fits him or her. Thus we try to identify interesting parallels or contrasts between the musicians’ work and look for promising links in what they are doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing transnational implies the crossing of borders. Nowadays we do this all the time. Digitally on the Internet, and in person by flying all over the world to see what is going on. Crossing is a requirement for comparison and learning. For some it easier to cross borders, for others they represent unscalable obstacles. We like it when people cross borders - preferring to frame the act of crossing as a bringing together instead of focusing on the dividing aspects it might imply. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transnational series confronts artists of our homeland Switzerland with others from all over the world and invites you to do some “transnational travelling” of your own. The musical link between the split-fellows gets embedded in visual representations of the artists’ individual worlds made up of photographs of specific things, of places and events of their everyday life they provided us with. Ron takes up these stimuli of the artists and integrates them in his graphical artwork that will be the golden thread throughout the series, while I try to frame it all with a written story based on conversations with the artists and mental snap-shots that happened on the way to the final record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – Klang Start\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – Zone Zwei\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – Night Crawler\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – I See No Evil\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – Control\u003cbr\u003eStarcleaner – Dark Invader\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMint Mind – My New Skateboard\u003cbr\u003eMint Mind – I Don't Want To Live on the Moon\u003cbr\u003eMint Mind – In Series Or Parallel\u003cbr\u003eMint Mind – Mind Over Matter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack 12\" vinyl (180g), special gatefold packaging including a 24–page booklet, Frontcover with a scratching colour screen print.\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 500\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roastin’ Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124978016427,"sku":"12671","price":469.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/2465\/1691\/products\/TRANS-002.png?v=1603266570"},{"product_id":"12760","title":"SLIPKNOT - WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND (2LP Gatefold + DL Code)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe Are Not Your Kind is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an Incredible amount of talent and energy, Slipknot returns with their astonishing new record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is enough here to please all the fans, those who like the heavier aspects of Slipknot, and those who prefer their more melodic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album excels not only in musical ability, but also in the technical department.
