{"product_id":"gregory-alan-isakov-this-empty-northern-hemisphere","title":"Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere","description":"\u003cp\u003eGregory Alan Isakov's This Empty Northern Hemisphere is a hushed, star-filled record, pressed on vinyl with a download insert included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in South Africa and settled in Colorado, Isakov makes music that sounds like it was written on a porch at midnight with the radio off. Released in 2009 on his own Suitcase Town label, this album helped spread his weathered, literary brand of indie folk well beyond the Denver coffeehouse circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig Black Car is the song many listeners find first, a slow, aching ballad that sounds like a conversation held long after the engine has stopped. Dandelion Wine opens the album with a lyric full of small, precise images, and That Moon Song is as tender as its title suggests. He closes with his own reading of Leonard Cohen's One of Us Cannot Be Wrong, a fitting nod to a writer whose shadow falls across these songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsakov sings softly, almost under his breath, and the songs are built to let the words land. Thirteen tracks drift by like headlights on a rural road, each one a little more lonely and luminous than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it on when the house is quiet and the lights are low. That is when this record does its best work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67757924090146,"sku":"667928015617","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Gregory_Alan_Isakov-This_Empty_Northern_Hemisphere.jpg?v=1794293858","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/gregory-alan-isakov-this-empty-northern-hemisphere","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
