{"product_id":"hollywood-saviour","title":"Hollywood Saviour","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter decades playing alongside Alexis Taylor in Hot Chip and James Murphy in LCD Soundsystem, Al Doyle steps forward with his first solo album, Hollywood Saviour. “It’s me discovering a way to write and sing stuff that I could live with,” he says of the record that finally drove him to embrace his own voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at his East London studio, Relax and Enjoy, the album carries the rush and release of a breakthrough. Doyle finds freedom in the simplicity of guitar, bass and drums, leaning into the weird, spontaneous, raucous and raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts sense of fun draws inspiration from the loose electro-funk of Sexual Harassment’s “I Need A Freak” and Throbbing Gristle’s “Something Came Over Me”, which he covers here. His vocals bring together echoes of Iggy Pop, Pete Shelley and PIL-era John Lydon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener “Hard Times In America” offers a psychedelic window into his experiences travelling to the United States, while “All I Want For Christmas” closes with a dark character portrait set among drum machine and piano. Throughout, Doyle’s voice gives these songs a character entirely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Times In America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamonds, Stars and Fires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassion Is A Crime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Front Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharaohs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRent Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollywood Saviour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething Came Over Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Want For Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"CARGO","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":67674764181821,"sku":"DFA2739LP","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/AlDoyle-HollywoodSaviour.jpg?v=1791815124","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/hollywood-saviour","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
