{"product_id":"210000015315","title":"Mike Krol - Turkey","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn bowling's hallowed alleys, a strike is the minor miracle of all ten pins falling at once. Back-to-back strikes make a double. Do it a third time and you've got yourself a turkey. History will decide which sports metaphor to apply to Mike Krol's first two records, I Hate Jazz (2011) and Trust Fund (2013). But as needle meets groove on Turkey-Krol's first record for Merge-there is no ambiguity. A shiny black ball tumbles past the suburban strip malls of a polyestered Wisconsin and veers precariously close to an East Coast gutter before gathering momentum in a physics-defying sprint for the Pacific. California is where the headpin falls-the right velocity, the perfect geometry, the bowler's intent beautifully realized in a noisy moment of awesome destruction. Mike Krol got his bike stolen and his heart broken. He bailed on graphic-design-as-career. He kept playing drums and guitars, and he kept writing songs about the stuff he hated and the stuff he loved. Leaving Milwaukee for Los Angeles, he took a few years' worth of wrong turns. But when he showed up at a studio in Sacramento in March 2014, he had his affairs in order. Plug the vocal mic into a guitar amp. Plug the guitar into an overheating box of vacuum tubes. Put the computer in the closet. Roll the tape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58367422824773,"sku":"MRG539.1","price":2.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/mike-krol-music-vinyl-records-mike-krol-turkey-673855053912-mrg539-1-39955317260540.jpg?v=1782313058","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/210000015315","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
