{"product_id":"john-wilkes-booze-telescopic-eyes-glance-the-fut-ure-sick-cd","title":"John Wilkes Booze - Telescopic Eyes Glance the Fut ure Sick (CD) |","description":"Telescopic Eyes Glance the Future Sick is the third digest from John Wilkes Booze, the Bloomington, Indiana six-piece. Marching forth with heft-guitar riffs, mantra shrieking, garbled saxophone, and customary missed notes, the perpetual rhythm eventually collapses to abstraction and absence. An eye to tomorrow, this knowing glance is assimilated from personal divinations in polemic research and oracle gospels. JWB has documented these desperations as a pop-deviated witch trial, referencing a mystified Midwestern rock past with atonal acoustic gestures. All in all, an assembled mass of splattered sound as song.Recorded from Election Day 2004 through years end by Mahan Kalpa (ne Paul Mahern, vocalist of the legendary Zero Boys) at his White Ark Studio in Bloomington, JWB divided the session between splintered rock and their love of classic song structure and improvisation, which has been the foundation of recent tours. Starting the sessions with part-hope, the group quickly grasped the sick future and focused on recent and past societal and cosmic ills. The album opens with an impromptu keening then segues into a side of JWB-sired R\u0026amp;B. The Boozes warbling rock fusion has been heralded from hi-to-low-brow from The Wire to Maximum Rock N Roll and all points in between. The previous Five Pillars of Soul album was a explicitly honed concept album, where as Telescopic Eyes hovers on an transcendent plane lyrically and aurally. It is not a political charged slap at todays administration, more so an overview of feverish attempts and decisions made by many, stretching back to the 1800s through today in the realms of freedom fighting, occult groupings, direct action, and seeing signs in the snakes. Barker Ranch Blues and Always Is Always Forever is a circular meditation on the possibilities of believing what no one else will.","brand":"John Wilkes Booze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45063848034419,"sku":"XCZRIX-K4FP-3S","price":13.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/telescopic-eyes-glance-the-fut-ure-sick-cd_8xsLi.jpg?v=1780437061","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/john-wilkes-booze-telescopic-eyes-glance-the-fut-ure-sick-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
