{"product_id":"painting-of-a-panic-attack-lp","title":"Painting of a Panic Attack [LP]","description":"The fifth studio long player and second major-label release from the petrified Scottish mammals, Painting of a Panic Attack offers up another swoon-inducing, bloody-sleeved collection of erudite indie rock anthems that distill angst, both existential and situational, into fist-pumping crowd-pleasers. Produced with measured aplomb by the National's Aaron Dessner, the 12-track set sees frontman Scott Hutchison returning full-time to the fold after his 2014 solo outing under the Owl John moniker. Born out of homesickness for his bandmates and the old country -- Hutchison spent much of his post-Owl John existence on an extensive Los Angeles staycation. Painting of a Panic Attack treads familiar thematic ground for the group -- loss, dislocation, heartache, regret, etc. -- but between Hutchison's always compelling prose and Dessner's punchy production work, the overall effect is beguiling rather than staid. The album is front-loaded, to say the least, with early standouts like \"Get Out,\" \"Death Dream,\" \"Woke Up Hurting,\" and \"I Wish I Was Sober,\" which are as hook-driven as they are pained, with the banging \"Get Out\" packing the most firepower -- think the Killers with some humility or Arcade Fire sans righteousness. Hutchison really only deals with the City of Angels directly on two songs: the plaintive \"Still Want to Be Here\" and the brooding \"Lump Street,\" but the notion that a stranger in a strange land can be both inspired and driven to tears is a familiar one for anybody who has ever sought change through relocation. Painting of a Panic Attack, like previous albums, can get a bit mired in wistful, midtempo soul searching, but it's by far the most immediate and inclusive collection of songs that the band has laid to tape to date. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45268594950431,"sku":"825646486397","price":50.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/d01934b750bbf0934ac27d2c484486c9.jpg?v=1778424247","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/painting-of-a-panic-attack-lp","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
