The follow-up to his 2021 self-titled debut LP for Fat Possum–a critically acclaimed\nrecord that earned him his network television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,\nvarious major festival performances, and rave coverage via NPR Music (All Songs\nConsidered, Tiny Desk (Home) Concert), Rolling Stone, Guitar World, Texas Monthly, and\nmore – \u003ci\u003eThe Fatalist\u003c\/i\u003e sounds unlike any blues record you’re likely to hear in 2023. The lead\nsingle captures songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Carl\nNichols singing of salvation and relief in his soundscape that teems with the joyous\nclaustrophobia of classic gospel. Sampled triggers of Charley Patton’s version connect the\nearliest blues recordings to the present, both singers’ voices urgent in their message. Nichols\nexplains: “A traditional song made modern. Which aspects of ‘the Blues’ are essential? Is it a\nmelody? A certain vocabulary? Delivery? Instrumentation? Is this still a blues song? And\nmost importantly: who gets to decide? I tried to reimagine the blues with this song as if it\nwere allowed to grow and progress uninterrupted, uncolonized and ungentrified.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fat Possum","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50411245601099,"sku":"2028184","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50411243864395,"sku":"2028183","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20000000214156_bd6bcda1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726654618","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-fatalist","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
