{"product_id":"jowe-head-widdershins-vinyl-lp","title":"Widdershins - Vinyl LP","description":"Brand new studio album from Ex Swell Maps \u0026amp; Television Person- alities guitarist. Widdershins is a term to describe the superstition against walking in an anti-clockwise direction, which was thought to be unlucky or even heretical. This typifies Jowe Head's ap- proach to music-making and to life in general; ignoring transient fashions and prevailing trends in pursuit of a personal creative vision. Distrustful of genres, pigeon-holes and categories, Jowe continues to plough a unique furrow, creating a genre of his own. His background in playing with highly influential, pioneering post- punk bands Swell Maps and Television Personalities is evident here, balancing the dynamics of pop and rock music, with the ad- venturous use of experimental sounds. Conceived and executed over the last five years, the material involves deliberately con- trasting extremes: light against darkness, chaos against order, tenderness against wrath, melody against harsh white noise, past against future. Open-minded music lovers and connoisseurs of psychedelic sounds shall welcome this record. Followers of so- called 'psych-folk' shall hear much of interest; fans of Shirley Col- lins ('Bolweevil Holler') and Fairport Convention ('Nottamun Town') shall recognise a few songs. Devotees of cult bands The Incredible String Band and Einsturzende Neubaten shall be inter- ested to hear cover versions of their work.Side One 1\/Lyke- Wake Dirge 2\/Tankerton Bay 3\/Minotaur Song 4\/Nottamun Town 5\/Ode to Krampus Side Two 1\/Extraterrestrials 2\/Extras 3\/Joseph Cornell 4\/Tom O Bedlam 5\/Gower Song Side Three 1\/Trees 2\/Baba Yaga 3\/Half-Bike 4\/Ein Stuhl In Der Holle 5\/King Of The Corn Side Four 1\/Long Live the Sun 2\/Two Ravens 3\/Bolweevil Holler 4\/Shepherd's Lament","brand":"Jowe Head","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51907429400887,"sku":"5060446072233","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/2860\/9079\/files\/3923364.jpg?v=1775572877","url":"https:\/\/www.worldwidestereo.com\/products\/jowe-head-widdershins-vinyl-lp","provider":"World Wide Stereo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
