{"product_id":"sans-merit-trolley-polly-new-vinyl","title":"Sans Merit - Trolley Polly (New Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSans Merit arrives on Knekelhuis with his second album Trolley Polly. A radiant album from currently LA-based Australian musician Griffin James—one that leans into unguarded joy with a playful, disarming sincerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album rocks right away into our world. Lifting off where the guitar pedals mash the gas and go. While at other moments the acoustic guitar passages carry a neofolk intimacy, like the low-voiced choir singer cast out of a pastoral world, left to wander in his own solitude. These moments are swept up by surging shoegaze episodes, slipping into hazy hypnagogic pop interludes and wiry post-punk turns, giving the record a restless, shifting pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath it all lies a lyrical sensitivity that grounds the album’s movement. Sans Merit reflects on the big questions in a world that feels increasingly fragile, balancing vulnerability with a self-aware, gently naïve humor, while staying attuned to the emotional undercurrents of everyday life. It’s this perspective that makes Trolley Polly feel so human—alive in its contradictions, and quietly comforting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rush Hour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52516245995751,"sku":"KH061","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0094\/8718\/8015\/files\/a0274710168_10.jpg?v=1787604767","url":"https:\/\/www.sonicboommusic.com\/products\/sans-merit-trolley-polly-new-vinyl","provider":"Sonic Boom Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
