{"product_id":"the-fooler","title":"The Fooler","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e2023 release. The title of the sixth album from Californian singer-songwriter Nick Waterhouse is more than just the name of one of it's tracks. The Fooler is both a clue and a red herring. The Fooler is the observed and the observer, narrator and subject, truth and lie. The Fooler is the shadow and reflection of a city the artist knows sufficiently well to wander with his eyes closed, and a place which very possibly never even existed. The Fooler is not so much an unreliable narrator as a constantly shifting perspective. The Fooler is the new album by Nick Waterhouse, and it's a lot. Recorded by Mark Neill (Black Keys; Los Straightjackets; Dave Cobb) in Valdosta, Georgia, it's a song-cycle of sorts, the arc of the album telling a tale of a city and it's denizens. The result is a record that offers up new riches and fresh perspectives with every spin. From the hidden corners of 'Hide \u0026amp; Seek' and the roadhouse soul of 'Play To Win' to the primitive, attitudinal, chugging two-chord thrill of 'Late In The Garden', it builds inexorably to the drama of the title track and pulsing roll-and-rock of the final pay off, 'Unreal, Immaterial'. Play it once and it sounds immediately like a collection of great songs. Play it again - and you will - and it feels like a novel or film slowly unveiling it's secrets, kaleidoscopic in it's narrative complexity. \"Especially during this record, I started just becoming what Allen Ginsberg called a pure breath,\" says the artist. \"I was becoming pure breath with my ideas.\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Audio Cd, March 31, 2023","offer_id":45913021644991,"sku":"48ccc72f-7ce8-4524-abe9-fa0ea383eb6a","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/a2026aa52744b0f9753c11821404e1a1.jpg?v=1785040669","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/the-fooler","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
