The resulting album The Fellowship bears the name of the insular Islamic community Shabason's traditionally Jewish parents belonged to from a time before he was even born; a mental and spiritual push-pull which continued shaping, even controlling, his outlook well into his adulthood. As a listening experience The Fellowship follows a chronological arc that spans three generations covering his parents' early lives, his own spiritual and physical adolescence, and his subsequent struggle to eschew the problematic habituations of such a conflicted past. On The Fellowship, as on prior albums that bear his name, Joseph Shabason does what only the best instrumental music makers can: tell a story with emotional clarity that conveys even the subtlest of feelings, all without singing a single word. As wordless as ever- with as complex a theme as ever- this album may be his most emotionally articulate yet. Most importantly, those lost in the woods of repression and self-doubt that organized religion can be at it's worst now have The Fellowship to help guide them into a softer light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Life with My Grandparents \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Escape from New York \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Fellowship \u003cbr\u003e1.4 0-13 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 13-15 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 15-19 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Comparitive World Religions \u003cbr\u003e1.8 So Long\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Joseph Shabason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39327946113095,"sku":"41380680","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3935532-2697286.jpg?v=1711732235","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/joseph-shabason-the-fellowship","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
