The band, made up of twins Ellie and Imogen Mason, along with Imogen’s husband, William J Stokes, are a family band in the truest sense. Whilst they started out as a folk trio, their new album Domestic Bliss is an album of throat-grabbing, avant-garde indie rock songs studded with eccentric choices: a synth with its keys jammed, playing a tune of its own making; field recordings – Morris dancers, motorbikes – captured on binaural headphones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eDomestic Bliss is concerned with power: the abuse of it, being on the cusp of it, and what it really means.

The songs draw on history, literature, everyday life and pop culture references (specifically Jude Law’s 1995 Vogue cover), with tracks like Cheddar Man reflecting on climate change and prehistory and Creon I tracing the unease of authority through the lens of Greek mythology. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eRecorded in the orchestral studios of City University, the album folds intimacy into scale, from phone-recorded vocals and samples of breath to heavy, tribal electronics in grand acoustic spaces. The result is by far their most refined record yet, where the band treat the recording studio like an instrument. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The state51 Conspiracy","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56899062301055,"sku":"CON1001CD","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Voka-Gentle-Domestic-Bliss-CD.webp?v=1780590896","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/voka-gentle-domestic-bliss-cd","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
