{"product_id":"maruja-tir-na-nog-black-vinyl","title":"Maruja - Tír na nÓg (Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaruja formed ten years ago in Manchester, no strangers to the struggles of being a jobbing band in a music scene where the fee for a support slot hasn't been raised in 30 years. But their reach is international – beloved of BBC 6 Music, Anthony Fantano, NME and Clash, they’ve played 24 countries this year and in December wrapped up the final leg of a 40 date European tour. Looking ahead to a blistering 2025, the first cornerstone comes as the band complete a foundational triptych of EPs by delivering their most experimental offering to date. ‘Tir na nÓg’ frontman Harry Wilkinson says is “Maruja in its rawest essence, its purest form”. The basis of all Maruja’s music is improvised, with their recordings capturing those moments in live performance when, as drummer Jacob Hayes puts it, “things move to another level – the flow state”, which Rick Rubin swears by, and those who have seen them live will understand. Maruja talk about spirituality with an understanding that recalls the jazz greats of the past, the heightened states of being reached by John Coltrane, largely forgotten in discussion of modern music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSIC FOR NATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55245950910838,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/MarujaTirNaNogEPMockUpBlack.jpg?v=1739184468","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/maruja-tir-na-nog-black-vinyl","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
