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. “This record will beat you like you owe it money. Flawless and epic unhinged power pop! Mike Krol rules! Don’t be a dope, buy it!” Tom Scharpling (The Best Show) Artist Mike Krol Genre Rock And Pop Label Merge Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings SIDE A Suburban Wasteland Neighborhood Watch Left Out (ATTN: SoCal Garage Rockers) Save The Date SIDE B This Is The News La La La Cactuses Less Than Together Piano Shit Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mike Krol and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Mike Krol Power Chords – Indies Only Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 22nd January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Krol Power Chords – Indies Only £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG609LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mike Krol Power Chords Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Merge Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th January 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Krol Power Chords £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG609LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gun Club, The Pastoral Hide & Seek Rock And Pop | Bang! | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th November 2019 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gun Club, The Pastoral Hide & Seek £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bang!
