Description:
The Ultra Vivid Lament" is the first studio album in three years by Manic Street Preachers, one of the UK's leading rock bands. The Ultra Vivid Lament" is their 14th studio album and their first in three years. The band members commented on the new song "Orwellian," which was released prior to the album's release. The song talks about the battle for meaning, the erasure of context in debate, and the overwhelming sense of contradiction in fiction (note: a work that mixes fact and fiction) caused by digital platforms that leads to perpetual culture wars." Musically, it's reminiscent of ABBA, Alan Rankin's commanding playing in The Associates, or Talk Talk's "It's My Life" with Lindsey Buckingham's guitar solo. I felt it was an ideal introduction to the album, both sonically and lyrically." The 11 songs on the album are a perfect blend of quiet intensity and sublime, irresistible songs. These elements range from the ambient humming of the opening track, the intriguingly titled "Still Snowing in Sapporo" for the Japanese, to the fictionalized attack and defense of Welsh artist siblings Gwen & Augustus John in the vibrant "The Secret He Had Mist". The song spans from the ambient humming of the vibrant "The Secret He Had Mist" to the offensive and defensive duet of the imaginary conversation between Welsh artist sisters Gwen and Augustus John on "The Secret He Had Mist. This album marks a departure from the previous "Resistance Is Futile," and is the first Manic Street Preachers album to be initially inspired by piano rather than guitar.Recording took place in the winter of 2020-21 with longtime collaborator Dave Elinga (The Who) at Rockfield in Monmouth, Wales, and at their Newport-owned Door to the River Studios, followed by David Wrench (Blossoms, Frank Ocean, and Arlo Parks) did the mixing. The album features two guest vocalists, Julia Cumming (Sunflower Bean) on "The Secret He Had Mist" and Mark Lanegan on "Blank Diary Entry".
