{"product_id":"a_matter_of_time_the_final_hour","title":"A Matter Of Time: The Final Hour","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaufey’s A Matter of Time: The Final Hour is the deluxe edition of her third studio album, released in April 2026 as the “closing chapter” to the Grammy‑winning A Matter of Time. Expanding the record to 19 tracks with four new songs, it keeps the original album’s lush, string‑kissed mix of jazz‑pop, classical touches, and vintage Hollywood romance while deepening its emotional arc. Orchestral interludes, expanded arrangements, and carefully sequenced reprises make the project feel even more like a storybook or film score, something several reviewers describe as almost fairy‑tale or “Disney soundtrack” in its sweeping, cinematic quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere A Matter of Time charts friendship break‑ups, fear of love, and self‑confrontation against shimmering, nostalgic backdrops, The Final Hour pushes further into introspection, focusing on learning to live with anxiety, accepting uncertainty, and finding calm after emotional storms. The new material folds into existing highlights like “Silver Lining,” “Tough Luck,” “Lover Girl,” and “Snow White,” sharpening the album’s themes: doomed but devoted love, impossible beauty standards, self‑sabotage in relationships, and the bittersweet passage of time. Critics and fans alike note how the added tracks tilt the record toward a sadder, more vulnerable tone—what one listener called “full of sadness, the kind that makes you want to give Laufey a hug”—while still resolving on a note of closure and tentative peace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53407803375930,"sku":"37877","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette \/ Album - Sage Green Cassette","offer_id":53407803408698,"sku":"37878","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP - Water Colour Vinyl","offer_id":53407803441466,"sku":"37879","price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-04_at_1.34.48_PM.jpeg?v=1781078410","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/a_matter_of_time_the_final_hour","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
