{"product_id":"chalk-crystalpunk","title":"Chalk – Crystalpunk (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReleased on ALTER in March 2026, Crystalpunk is the long-awaited debut album from Belfast duo Ross Cullen and Benedict Goddard, former film students who spent four years and a trilogy of Conditions EPs evolving from jagged post-punk into something far stranger and heavier. The result is a genre of their own invention, a collision of industrial noise, techno and punk shaped by a youth lived around the scars of the North, made with the stated intention that this might be the only Chalk album to ever exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEverything on it moves like a live band with the volume in the red. Skem builds relentlessly without ever tipping over, One-Nine-Eight-Zero smuggles in a genuine pop melody, and the near eight-minute Béal Feirste brings the record's tensions to a politically charged climax before Ache closes it out raw and unguarded. Mixed by Scott Desmarais and mastered by Chris Gehringer, it sounds enormous. A serious statement from one of the most exciting bands on the island.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALTER Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57326402044279,"sku":"840381601508","price":29.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6696\/9719\/files\/a0414934500_10.jpg?v=1785145500","url":"https:\/\/www.inisrecords.com\/products\/chalk-crystalpunk","provider":"Inis Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
