{"title":"The Appleseed Cast","description":"The Appleseed Cast are a post-rock and emo band from Lawrence, Kansas, known for their lush, atmospheric soundscapes and emotionally expansive guitar work. Active since the late 1990s, they've built a devoted following through decades of consistent, introspective releases. Their albums \u003cem\u003eTwo Conversations\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSagarmatha\u003c\/em\u003e, both available here at Collide, showcase the band's gift for weaving delicate melodies into sweeping, cinematic compositions.","products":[{"product_id":"appleseed-cast-illumination-ritual-vinyl","title":"Illumination Ritual Vinyl LP (Sea Blue \/ Ultra Clear)","description":"Limited Edition 2022 Sea Blue pressing of the 2013 album from the Lawrence, Kansas-based Post-Rock outfit The Appleseed Cast. Ultra Clear with Sea Blue Glaze. Illumination Ritual is their first full-length since 2009's Sagamartha and first output since 2011's Middle States EP. With lyrics written over the course of three nights, between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m., and music written over a three month period of time, Illumination Ritual reflects both a sense of urgency and unbridled creative energy. Many bands fizzle out after a few records but on this, their eighth full length, they've hit a high mark that many will undoubtedly compare to their 2001 masterpiece, Low Level Owl. Every album has come with lineup changes for The Appleseed Cast. This one introduces Taylor Hollenbeck on guitar and Nathan Wilder on drums. Both additions are outstanding on this record.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: April 23, 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Graveface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 643157425199\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Appleseed Cast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035449704675,"sku":"The Appleseed Cast (1)","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/The_Appleseed_Cast_Illumination_Ritual_Vinyl_LP_Sea_Blue_Ultra_Clear.jpg?v=1756914208"},{"product_id":"appleseed-cast-sagarmatha-vinyl","title":"Sagarmatha Vinyl LP (Grey w\/ Pink\/Blue Splatter, 45 RPM)","description":"2022 Grey with Pink\/Blue Splatter edition of Sagarmatha, the 2009 release from The Appleseed Cast.
