{"product_id":"save-as-191400094420","title":"Save as","description":"There is no grand, overarching storyline to Save As, the second solo album from Elena Tonra's Ex: Re project. Rather, the album - produced by Fabian Prynn and also featuring Josephine Stephenson on cello, Hinako Omori on synthesisers, Ben Reed on bass and Jethro Fox on electric guitar - is the latest in the Daughter lead singer's catalogue of expert chronicles of the gnawing minutiae of human consciousness: the over-thinking that consumes us, and the places we travel to escape.  The title of album opener \"Radio Station\", which begins with stately strummed acoustic guitar and morphs into a trippy song about an endless California roadtrip, is a metaphor for how Tonra feels about her mind. \"I end up getting stuck because I can't make decisions,\" she says. Demo recordings live on in many of the final cuts, as on \"Sleep\", which Tonra first recorded in a hotel room in Paris. The final version features a melodic loop made from the demo's acoustic guitar run through a vocoder and a drum machine, which together offer a muffled quality to the sound, like hearing a party through a wall.  Other tracks, such as the stand-out \"Am I Even Real?\", a Tonra-Prynn duet on which Tonra sings about spaceships to ask whether she is being true to herself in a relationship, found their true version in the studio. That combination of long-held ideas stored in notebooks and on laptops with unfiltered first thoughts and improvisations is key to the album's perfect mingling of liveliness and deep thoughtfulness.","brand":"4Ad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46282432381011,"sku":"2849517X","price":16.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4538811.jpg?v=1790459497","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/save-as-191400094420","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
