It’s the sort of self-educated, non-jazz record that critics of Moondog would have written off as impure. Frankly, we’re good with that. The strength of the record lies not with any collegiate-level classification, but in its ability conjure moods that just feel good, are instantly familiar and invite a certain nostalgia. The gritty, noir side of it, brings to mind the old black and white detective stories. The jovial, 1920’s romanticism, lends a bit of class and gives the sense that even though everything is falling to shit, we are going to power through it with a bit of song and dance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhatever one happens to take away from this album, ‘The Letdown’ is meant to be fun, help the whisky burn just a bit less, and keep the blood flowing. Read into it too much and you might spoil it. Guaranteed it is unlike any Fritch record to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e01 Unhinged\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e02 Free Radical\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e03 Compulsion \/ Going Through The Motions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e04 Initiative\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e05 Dream Differently\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e06 Experiment\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e07 Curls of Smoke \/ False Confidence\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e08 Unraveling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e09 Progress Traps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10 Ashen Relics\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11 The Letdown\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12 Hesitation \/ Recurring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13 Shuttered\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14 Dream Glitch \/ Fugue State \/ Broken Barriers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e15 What's Left Unfilched\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lost Tribe Sound","offers":[{"title":"mp3","offer_id":67993795199252,"sku":"LTS044","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1035\/0284\/0084\/files\/Kre5wsMg.jpg?v=1793919647","url":"https:\/\/primeunion.shop\/products\/william-ryan-fritch-the-letdown","provider":"Linden \u0026 Oak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
