{"product_id":"great-psychic-outdoors","title":"Great Psychic Outdoors","description":"\u003cb\u003eExplores the weird world of lo-fi music to investigate its revolutionary potential and its ability to subvert what we think music can do.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomemade records, tape-hiss worship and a taste for a very peculiar kind of psychedelia have carved themselves a weird niche in the contemporary musical landscape under the name of lo-fi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis genreless genre, characterized by poor recordings and rough sounds, spanning from the most extreme heavy metal to the sweetest ear-candies pop can offer, has become a solid presence in our collective sensibility. And yet, it has largely been neglected: this staunch refusal of anything hi-fi and hi-tech has fallen under the radar of the categories we use to analyse ourselves and our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Great Psychic Outdoors,\u003c\/i\u003e dedicated to the most interesting and controversial artists in this movement, will rectify this injustice and vindicate the revolutionary potential of lo-fi music, engaging with this weird genre on its own terms and facing head on the contradictions and possibilities of this multi-faceted phenomenon. Confronting the aesthetic and conceptual stakes of this sonic craft, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Psychic Outdoors\u003c\/i\u003e shows what lo-fi says about us, our lives under capitalism and the strange ways we cope with pain, madness and beauty.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308108947838,"sku":"NW9781914420603","price":10.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781914420603.jpg?v=1778578101","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/great-psychic-outdoors","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
