There is a\ndistinct nod to 1970s pop throughout the record too,\nwith strings and backing vocals reminiscent of Burt\nBacharach and Carpenters.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written and recorded in their studio and released\nthrough their Archtop Records label, this album is their\nstrongest and most vulnerable, showcasing their\n“immaculate harmonies” - Rolling Stone Magazine.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Words from the band: “What we’ve learnt: writing an\nalbum all about joy is one thing, but writing it from a\nplace of struggle is something else altogether. There’s\na very raw underbelly to the harmonies and hooks. In\nwriting these songs, we dug deep into ourselves and\nrealised that when there is joy, life is wonderful. And\nwhen there is an absence of it, there is always hope.\nAnd it’s hope that keeps us living. The album’s\nmessage - it’s going to be ok, let’s dance in the\nkitchen.”","brand":"Archtop Records","offers":[{"title":"Pastel Pink LP","offer_id":51591020216598,"sku":"RMX-71462","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51591020806422,"sku":"RMX-71463","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a5de2bcfc0604effc0f8434_82ed7e0b-16dc-46f7-91a9-470e4e100160.jpg?v=1784554852","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/ferris-sylvester-its-a-joy-to-be-alive","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
