{"product_id":"skeleten-mentalized","title":"Skeleten- Mentalized (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkeleten's Mentalized is a reflective and expansive album, building on the immersive, lush sound of Russell Fitzgibbon's 2023 debut Under Utopia, while diving deeper into the complexities of connection and influence. Where Under Utopia celebrated hope and beauty, Mentalized explores the struggles that accompany that hope, asking profound questions about the nature of mental influence-both in our personal lives and in the wider world.\r\n\r\nOpening with \"Deep Scene,\" the album invites listeners into a dynamic and introspective soundscape, blending ethereal synths, sharp guitar riffs, and velvet vocals. The album balances playfulness and seriousness, encouraging the listener to dance while grappling with deep emotions. Tracks like \"Love Enemy\" and \"Viagra\" exemplify Russell's seamless fusion of electronic textures with human vulnerability, as he examines themes of intimacy, self-awareness, and the tension between resistance and submission in relationships.\r\n\r\nThe sonic evolution of Mentalized is evident in it's collaborative nature, with bandmates Al, Hugh, Doug, and Imo bringing fresh energy to Russell's vision. The album mixes trip-hop, nu-metal, and turntable scratches, paying homage to an era of electronic music while pushing into new territory. Songs like \"These People\" and \"Raw\" layer hypnotic synths and intricate guitar lines, revealing a deeper emotional scope as the record progresses.\r\n\r\nWith Mentalized, Skeleten offers a meditation on modern life, relationships, and the unspoken forces that shape us. The record's mantras, emotional depth, and Russell's masterful storytelling create a compelling, multi-dimensional listening experience that stays with you long after the final track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Enemy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bodys Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crack in the Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Deep Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let It Grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Viagra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ravers Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mindreader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46054326403293,"sku":"090125170344","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4394011-3306950.jpg?v=1737470711","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/en-jp\/products\/skeleten-mentalized","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
