The species’ only hope for survival, finding itself on a cruel, unpredictable rock surrounded by other species who seem far more adept at this whole thing (and to whom they are delicious), is the reliance on other, slightly older, half-formed brains. This reliance takes on a few different names as their story unfolds, like “love,” “culture,” “family,” etc. Over time, and as their brains prove to be remarkably good at inventing meaning where there is none, the species becomes the purveyor of increasingly bizarre and sophisticated ironies. These ironies are designed to help cope with the species’ loathsome vulnerability and to try and reconcile how disproportionate their imagination is to the monotony of their existence.\" Something like that.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estandard black vinyl edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egatefold jacket with custom dust sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erelease date: 04\/07\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Sub Pop 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Bo Linas 04\/2017\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Father John Misty","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":29575559368,"sku":"lp-8306","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/fatherjohnmisty-purecomedy.jpg?v=1762272766","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/father-john-misty-pure-comedy-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
