{"product_id":"ever-roving-eye","title":"Ever-Roving Eye","description":"\u003cp\u003eChicago songwriter and guitarist James Elkington who has collaborated with everyone from Richard Thompson to Jeff Tweedy to Tortoise recorded his sophomore album at Wilco’s Loft, expanding upon his celebrated 2017 debut \u003ci\u003eWintres Woma\u003c\/i\u003e as well as his recent production and arrangement work for the likes of Steve Gunn, Nap Eyes, and Joan Shelley. Casting glances back to British folk traditions as well as toward avant-garde horizons, these brilliant new songs, as accessible as they are arcane, buttress Elkington’s brisk guitar figures and baritone poesy with strings, woodwinds, and backing vocals by Tamara Lindeman of the Weather Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the first record was more firmly situated in the sonic tradition of England’s more interesting 1970s folk revivalists, Eye engages in a broader wrassle, roping in echoes of British library musics, horror-film soundtracks, demure psychedelia, and more rocking elements of folk-rock. The result is a record even more elaborate, shrewd, thoughtful and confessional than its predecessor. \u003ci\u003eEver-Roving Eye\u003c\/i\u003e is instead a sublime distillation of the humane wisdom of a dude who’ll never be; the dude who sings on the single, \u003ci\u003eNowhere Time\u003c\/i\u003e: “There’s a master plan somebody understands \/ And I wish that one was me.” It might well cast a pox on the concept of satisfaction altogether. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Bert Jansch, Kevin Ayers, Richard Thompson, Joan Shelley, Steve Gunn, Michael Chapman, Mike Cooper, Ryley Walker, Scott Walker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise of Bachelors","offers":[{"title":"Green | LP","offer_id":50383942943051,"sku":"1086900","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50383943106891,"sku":"1086899","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383943303499,"sku":"1086898","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9b8b7817-a434-4e4c-b0fe-d0e78884d758_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726279774","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/ever-roving-eye","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
