{"product_id":"without-a-trace","title":"Without a Trace","description":"\u003cp\u003e16 Underground formed in early 2022 out of a spirit of experimentation. The four Los Angeles-based musicians, whose musical backgrounds vary (but, notably, veer into hardcore\/punk territory), wanted to push their creative limits by delving into sounds and textures that weren’t accessible through their previous projects—a new sonic palette inspired more by vintage trip-hop, ambient music, and electronic pop than the guitar-based modes they cut their teeth on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Without a Trace”, due out August 14 via Sunday Drive Records, was produced in collaboration with Max Epstein (Photographic Memory, Car Underwater). The band’s sophomore effort leans into a sound that still resonates in today’s dreampop landscape while also reflecting the retro radio influences to which the group pays homage. Synths swirl in stereo while lo-fi trip-hop backbeats churn. Keyboards gesture at times towards loungey jazz; guitars towards emo and shoegaze. Subsonic bass frequencies throb; digital artifacts and samples blip and whisper. Amidst it all, the ethereal, melodic vocals lull the listener into a state of bittersweet bliss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"16 Underground","offers":[{"title":"LP - Orange Burst","offer_id":48319151702257,"sku":"62764721802257","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Transparent Green","offer_id":48319151735025,"sku":"62764721735025","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":48319151767793,"sku":"62764721667793","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0292\/0177\/files\/16U-WAT-Cover-Web.jpg?v=1781554991","url":"https:\/\/sundaydrive-records.com\/products\/without-a-trace","provider":"Sunday Drive Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
