{"product_id":"virgins-2026-repress","title":"Virgins (2026 Repress)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVirgins was recorded during three periods in 2012, mostly in Reykjavik, Montreal and Seattle, using ensembles in live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile this album remains committed to a painterly form of musical abstraction, it is also a record of restrained composition recorded live primarily in intimate studio rooms. This record employs woodwinds, piano and synthesizers towards an effort at doing what digital music does not do naturally—making music that is out of time, out of tune and out of phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSome pieces go off the rails before forming into anything, others eschew crescendo compositional structures or bombastic density while going sideways instead. It points to the ongoing development of Hecker's work. It suggests illusory memories of drug- hazed jams or communal music performance that may have never been performed or been heard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is an offering of music into the void, a gift of digital filler between distractions. Yet hopefully it also stands as a document of the enduring faith in the narcotic, enigmatic function of music as long-form expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMixed by Valgeir Sigurðsson and Tim Hecker. Additional assistance by Randall Dunn and Ben Frost.
