With Gossamer, Angelakos' angst is pushed even further to the forefront, revealing an artist who doesn't just moonlight as a professional demon wrestler, but puts in a full day's work. Despite the flurry of pre-release woes (canceled shows, lengthy hospital stays, and the revelation of a botched, early suicide attempt, the latter of which is examined in great detail on the visceral and vulnerable closer \"Where We Belong\"), Gossamer is a triumph of youthful, bipolar tenacity that filters its manic energy through a cosmopolitan prism of pop avenues, from silky neo-soul (\"Constant Conversation\") to shimmery Jonsi-inspired synth pop (\"Take a Walk\"), the latter of which takes a third-person approach, weaving a tale of a husband and father's desperation in trying to make sense of his own actions in the midst of a recession's relentless, bloodied backhand. Angelakos' pathos aside, musically, Gossamer bristles with the kind of accessible pop luminosity that's usually relegated to barren Top 40 nonsense, but Angelakos and company know what constitutes a proper earworm, and effortless, infectious cuts like \"I'll Be Alright,\" \"Carried Away,\" \"It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy,\" and the aforementioned \"Constant Conversation\" latch on to the cochlea like a xenomorph with a taste for Fun., Phoenix, and the Lightning Seeds. Though the environment that birthed the appropriately titled Gossamer may be a bummer, the end product is winningly majestic and brilliantly spun. ~ James Christopher Monger\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frenchkiss Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582677704993,"sku":"197188670542","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/products\/197188670542.jpg?v=1687833843","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-fi\/products\/197188670542","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
