{"product_id":"head-jowe-widdershins","title":"Head, Jowe - Widdershins |","description":"Brand new studio album from Ex Swell Maps \u0026amp; Television Person- alities guitarist. Widdershins is a term to describe the superstition against walking in an anti-clockwise direction, which was thought to be unlucky or even heretical. This typifies Jowe Head’s ap- proach to music-making and to life in general; ignoring transient fashions and prevailing trends in pursuit of a personal creative vision. Distrustful of genres, pigeon-holes and categories, Jowe continues to plough a unique furrow, creating a genre of his own. His background in playing with highly influential, pioneering post- punk bands Swell Maps and Television Personalities is evident here, balancing the dynamics of pop and rock music, with the ad- venturous use of experimental sounds. Conceived and executed over the last five years, the material involves deliberately con- trasting extremes: light against darkness, chaos against order, tenderness against wrath, melody against harsh white noise, past against future. Open-minded music lovers and connoisseurs of psychedelic sounds shall welcome this record. Followers of so- called ‘psych-folk’ shall hear much of interest; fans of Shirley Col- lins (‘Bolweevil Holler’) and Fairport Convention (‘Nottamun Town’) shall recognise a few songs. Devotees of cult bands The Incredible String Band and Einsturzende Neubaten shall be inter- ested to hear cover versions of their work.","brand":"Head, Jowe","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":45121144258675,"sku":"029A2I-WM0N-QK","price":30.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/rock-new_tKved.jpg?v=1779552275","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/head-jowe-widdershins","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
