{"product_id":"waterhouse-nick-the-fooler","title":"Waterhouse, Nick - The Fooler |","description":"The title of the sixth album from Californian singer-songwriter Nick Waterhouse is more than just the name of one of its tracks. The Fooler is both a clue and a red herring. The Fooler is the observed and the observer, narrator and subject, truth and lie. The Fooler is the shadow and reflection of a city the artist knows sufficiently well to wander with his eyes closed, and a place which very possibly never even existed. The Fooler is not so much an unreliable narrator as a constantly shifting perspective.\n\nThe Fooler is the new album by Nick Waterhouse, and it’s a lot. Recorded by Mark Neill (Black Keys; Los Straightjackets; Dave Cobb) in Valdosta, Georgia, it’s a song-cycle of sorts, the arc of the album telling a tale of a city and its denizens. \n\nThe result is a record that offers up new riches and fresh perspectives with every spin. From the hidden corners of ‘Hide \u0026amp; Seek’ and the roadhouse soul of ‘Play To Win’ to the primitive, attitudinal, chugging two-chord thrill of ‘Late In The Garden’, it builds inexorably to the drama of the title track and pulsing roll-and-rock of the final pay off, ‘Unreal, Immaterial’. Play it once and it sounds immediately like a collection of great songs. Play it again – and you will – and it feels like a novel or film slowly unveiling its secrets, kaleidoscopic in its narrative complexity. “Especially during this record, I started just becoming what Allen Ginsberg called a pure breath,” says the artist. “I was becoming pure breath with my ideas.”","brand":"Waterhouse, Nick","offers":[{"title":"- FUNK *NEW*","offer_id":45121165656179,"sku":"5AP950-4B5C-0P","price":26.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/funk-new_gCtRP.jpg?v=1779553064","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/waterhouse-nick-the-fooler","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
