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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Looking For A Place \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Hide And Seek \u003cbr\u003e1.3 (No) Commitment \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Play To Win \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Was It You \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Late In The Garden \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Problem With A Street \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Plan For Leaving \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Are You Hurting \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Was The Style \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Fooler \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Unreal, Immaterial\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nick Waterhouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39949746307143,"sku":"43266432","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4176925-2943260.jpg?v=1711787984","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/nick-waterhouse-the-fooler-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
