{"product_id":"fastball-harsh-light-of-day-0720616223722","title":"Harsh Light of Day","description":"Call it the gradual acceleration of Fastball. The Austin-based trio's debut, Make Your Mama Proud, was mostly forgettable, anonymous alternative pop. Their sophomore release, All the Pain Money Can Buy, upped the ante with more confident songwriting and a bona fide classic in \"The Way.\" Album number three is The Harsh Light of Day, by no means a classic but another step forward. The first single, \"You're an Ocean,\" benefits from a sky-high hook and the infectious piano pounding of Billy \"Get Back\" Preston. Speaking of the Beatles, the influence of the lads from Liverpool is pronounced on Harsh Light's production flourishes; the band opens up to heavier use of strings, vibes, and lighthearted steel guitar. Highlights include the slightly Southern-fried ballad \"Don't Give Up on Me,\" \"Wind Me Up\" (which sounds like a haunted, forgotten Elvis Costello tune), and the jaunty opener of \"This Is Not My Life.\" --Jason Josephes","brand":"Uni\/Hollywood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53571518005590,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/fastball-harsh-light-of-day-0720616223722","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
