{"product_id":"mike-krol-turkey-cd","title":"Mike Krol - Turkey (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\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 polyester 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 microphone 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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuburban Wasteland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Neighborhood Watch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Left Out (Attn: Socal Garage Rockers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Save the Date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Is the News\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La la la\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cactuses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Less Than Together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Piano S*#t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521988464914,"sku":"673855053929","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mike-krol-turkey-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
