{"product_id":"family-stereo-the-thread","title":"Family Stereo - The Thread","description":"A clear sense of confidence in restraint radiates out of the debut album from\nBlake Watt, the London-based singer\/songwriter who records as Family\nStereo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pleasure lies in the delicacy of measure on \u003ci\u003eThe Thread\u003c\/i\u003e, an album of folk-tinged\nand brush-stroked reflections on distance and connection that majors in an evocative\nkind of narrative economy, suggesting rather than telling its stories. Inviting, dynamic\nand subtly cinematic, its artfully crafted precision feels like the work of a fastmaturing\ntalent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe record arrives in the aftermath of a string of prodigious EPs from the 25-year-old\nBlake, son of Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. The development\nfrom those early works is clear, but it's the kind of evolution that prefers to refine\nrather than embellish. As Blake says, \"I think my writing has been getting more pared-back\nas I've progressed. I find more and more that simple is better. I love telling a\nstory in the simplest way or conveying a feeling in the simplest way, with not too many\nfrills.\"","brand":"Bella Union","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":51210715889942,"sku":"RMX-66329","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51210718511382,"sku":"RMX-66330","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/a624a5bac3cee02e7e758ec56c9d46d1_464b736d-70e3-401a-a593-8d1e2c1f53dc.jpg?v=1776347184","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/family-stereo-the-thread","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
