{"product_id":"cd-phillips-grant-lee-in-the-hour-of-dust-cd","title":"In The Hour Of Dust","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeveral years ago, Grant-Lee Phillips found himself wandering the elegant halls of the Norton Simon Art Museum in Pasadena, California. Amid a collection of highly detailed Indian paintings, one piece stood out. He jotted a note in his notebook, struck by both the imagery and the ominous title. That entry would eventually inspire the name of his 12th solo album: In the Hour of Dust.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“A common theme throughout Indian poetry and painting,” Phillips explains, “is this concept of ‘the hour of cow dust.’ It’s that moment when cows are led home and kick up dust; a cue to prepare the lamps. Night is about to fall.”  While Phillips doesn’t shy away from today’s larger societal issues, In the Hour of Dust is an intimate, self-produced album. Its stripped-down musical presentation and often autobiographical lyrics reflect personal reckonings, all set “against this larger discordant backdrop.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike many, Phillips grapples with staying afloat in the chaos of modern life. For him, songwriting is a way to push back against the encroaching dark - to light the lamps and find a path forward, for both himself and his listeners.  “We can focus on all the various freedoms being threatened,” Phillips says, “things we might’ve taken for granted a year or two ago. But eventually, it comes back to very human, primal things. I don’t see songs of love and songs of protest as that far apart. It’s all about recognizing the value of connection in a disconnected time.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MGM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40426145022153,"sku":"813876","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/813876-Product-0-I-638920454403054599.jpg?v=1756448705","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/cd-phillips-grant-lee-in-the-hour-of-dust-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
