{"product_id":"hirons-future-perfect","title":"Hirons - Future Perfect","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn her debut EP, \u003cem\u003eFuture Perfect\u003c\/em\u003e, British-American songwriter, Jenny Hirons, sings of childhood visions and capitalist superstructures, of speeding down narrow country lanes and gently disappearing into the ether like a dream fulfilled. Throughout five muted pop tracks recalling Sakamoto \u0026amp; Hosono, Bowie \u0026amp; Eno, Hirons conjures pop fantasy and confronts reality with bright-eyed steeliness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title, \u003cem\u003eFuture Perfect\u003c\/em\u003e, refers to actions which shall be completed. Having absorbed the musical debut of Jenny Hirons, the attentive listener will have found themselves with a feeling of time well spent. Lyrical analysis being entirely optional — upon inspection a multiprismatic picture of life viewed from all points in time emerges — a child imagines adulthood, an adult returns to autonomy, a voice from another place looks back on a child's fantasies of the future. The effect of these songs is anything but ponderous, however. Hope, aspiration, overcoming are the takeaways, and musically the tone is a reflection of the artist herself — wry, cerebral, poised, entirely charming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHirons cites Astor Piazolla, the Beach Boys, Elliot Smith, Deerhoof, and Rachmaninoff as musical influences. (For those who don't know, Piazolla is an accordionist.) Hirons is also a deeply accomplished visual artist and designer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe product of several years of tinkering, \u003cem\u003eFuture Perfect\u003c\/em\u003e is also a break-up record, an unemployment record, an uncertain future record. Having now made it out into the world, Hirons looks back to a time when \"music was the economy of our hearts\", and forward to a future allowed to shape itself however it may be, \"carried home in all directions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"12\" EP","offer_id":50560964133142,"sku":"RMX-56526","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/b278a257f38a3f6d9d006c095903b1a0.jpg?v=1759234583","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/hirons-future-perfect","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
