{"product_id":"there-is-only-now","title":"There Is Only Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand new album from Medway's finest psych-beat combo! Heritage can be a harsh mistress. Ex-This, formerly of That. Past acclaim – particularly when it’s attached to some of the most visceral and elemental rock ’n’ roll of one’s generation – can become both a help and a hindrance; impossible to shake off but crucial to continued acceptance in the fickle world of pop music. Not that this is any concern of The Galileo 7 of course. As the title of their sixth album proudly proclaims,\u003ci\u003e There Is Only Now\u003c\/i\u003e, and this record is nothing if not Now! From humble beginnings 10 years ago as a DIY outlet for Allan Crockford’s songwriting ambitions (he was rarely afforded such luxuries as bass-wielding anchorman of The Prisoners, JTQ, Prime Movers, Solarflares et al) The Galileo 7 has evolved into a powerhouse live act delivering the kind of lysergically-inclined technicolour garage-rock rarely witnessed these days; one born of experience, exploration and an enjoyment of one’s own craft. Following a period of fluctuation, the present line-up stabilised around Crockford (vocals, guitar), Paul Moss (bass, vocals), Viv Bonsels (keyboard, vocals) and the busiest man in garage, Matthew ‘Mole’ Lambert (drums, vocals) – yep, there are a lot of vocals in the mix here and the record is all the brighter for it. The G7’s long-players since 2016’s storming “live in the studio” set \u003ci\u003eLive-O-Graphic\u003c\/i\u003e have carried way more clout as a result of this newfound energy, breathing fresh life into Crockford’s songs as the songs themselves delve ever more skilfully into a pool populated with Dandyish psychedelic pop, British Invasion muscle, new-wave sparkle and that ever-present Medway magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damaged Goods","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50498412085579,"sku":"1062668","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498411757899,"sku":"1062667","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/475125df-ab7d-46ed-94cb-5ff4d68e585d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727747383","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/there-is-only-now","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
