{"product_id":"the-myriad-arrows-poise-cd","title":"With Arrows, With Poise CD","description":"The Myriad's approach to Christian alt-rock favors atmosphere over evangelism.  With Arrows, With Poise, the Seattle band's second album, uses indirection to drive home its points about spiritual blindness and the imminent presence of the divine.  Front man Jeremy Edwardson sings with an insinuating croon that mocks the material world while hinting at his own nagging fears.  Vague threats and unsettled emotions hang over \u003ci\u003eGrandfather Clock, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThrowing Punches, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eStuck in a Glass Elevator,\u003c\/i\u003e and similar tracks.  Though the mood never quite gets sunny, songs like \u003ci\u003eA Thousand Winters Melting,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Holiest of Thieves,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBetter than the Rest\u003c\/i\u003e offer hopeful glimpses of a higher world.  Love - both mortal and otherwise - makes its presence known in the sleekly-contoured \u003ci\u003eA Clean Shot.\u003c\/i\u003e  Spiky lead guitar and shimmering keyboards define the album's sound, suggesting a blend of Radiohead, Mutemath, and the more angular aspects of Coldplay.  Funky yet furtive grooves lend a disquieting twitch to \u003ci\u003ePolar Bears and Shark Fins\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eForget What You Came For.\u003c\/i\u003e  With Arrows, With Poise is a work of uneasy exaltation and fog-shrouded faith. -iTunes\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: May 13, 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Koch Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 099923444329\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Myriad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772186945,"sku":"The Myriad (2)","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/600x600bb_4212b0f7-92f0-4881-8c50-ff75b6c7bea6.jpg?v=1471616072","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/the-myriad-arrows-poise-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
