{"product_id":"turkey","title":"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. CD - Digipak with folder. LP - With poster insert and album download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50493623271755,"sku":"392390","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/64f2db81-12e4-4c2b-8d4b-cbfa340282bf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727699363","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/turkey","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
