He understands he is not the only traveler on this road, and Whodunnit will be a treasured companion for those of us seeking comfort on our own journey. \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Adeline Hotel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Ruination Records\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-09-01T09:33:48+09:00","created_at":"2024-09-01T09:28:04+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["folk \/ left-field pop","lp","new","recommended","ruination record co."],"price":359000,"price_min":359000,"price_max":359000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46622058512634,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Adeline Hotel \/\/ Whodunnit LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":359000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3477992483_16.jpg?v=1725150595","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0036722986_10.jpg?v=1725150593"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3477992483_16.jpg?v=1725150595","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":34811346288890,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3477992483_16.jpg?v=1725150595"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3477992483_16.jpg?v=1725150595","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":34811346223354,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0036722986_10.jpg?v=1725150593"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0036722986_10.jpg?v=1725150593","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・NYのフォークレーベルRuination Records諸作を入荷しました。\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e本作は、レーベルオーナーAdeline Hotelが、2024年9月にリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eサイケロック作品\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/products\/adeline-hotel-solid-love-lp\"\u003e『Solid Love』\u003c\/a\u003e、ギターによるアンビエント・フォーク作品\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/products\/adeline-hotel-good-timing-cd\"\u003e『Good Timing』\u003c\/a\u003e、ピアノ中心のネオクラシカル・ポップ作品\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/products\/adeline-hotel-the-cherries-are-speaking-cd-lp\"\u003e『The Cherries Are Speaking』\u003c\/a\u003e、ユニークなアンビエント・ジャズ作品\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/products\/adeline-hotel-hot-fruit-lp\"\u003e『Hot Fruit』\u003c\/a\u003eと続き、今回は言葉／歌をテーマにしたスローコア〜インディーフォーク9曲を収録。DLコード付属。ゲートフォルド仕様です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eマスタリングはカナダ・トロントの重鎮Sandro Perriが担当しています。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan Knishkowy - guitars, vocals\u003cbr\u003eWinston Cook-Wilson - piano, una corda, synthesizers\u003cbr\u003eSean Mullins - drums, percussion, una corda\u003cbr\u003eCarmen Quill - upright bass\u003cbr\u003eKatie Von Schleicher - vocals\u003cbr\u003eJackie West - vocals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2263537868\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2263537868\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=2768849156\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ruire\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ruire\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ruire\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ruire\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to see more Ruination Records releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-----------------------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes DL code.
