{"product_id":"5020422051515","title":"Galileo 7: There Is Only Now (Vinyl LP)","description":"\"Heritage can be a harsh mistress. Ex-This, formerly of That. Past acclaim - particularly when it's attached to some of the most visceral and elemental rock 'n' roll of one's generation - can become both a help and a hindrance; impossible to shake off but crucial to continued acceptance in the fickle world of pop music. Not that this is any concern of The Galileo 7 of course. As the title of their sixth album proudly proclaims, There Is Only Now, and this record is nothing if not Now! From humble beginnings 10 years ago as a DIY outlet for Allan Crockford's songwriting ambitions (he was rarely afforded such luxuries as bass-wielding anchorman of The Prisoners, JTQ, Prime Movers, Solarflares et al) The Galileo 7 has evolved into a powerhouse live act delivering the kind of lysergically-inclined technicolour garage-rock rarely witnessed these days; one born of experience, exploration and an enjoyment of one's own craft. Following a period of fluctuation, the present line-up stabilised around Crockford (vocals, guitar), Paul Moss (bass, vocals), Viv Bonsels (keyboard, vocals) and the busiest man in garage, Matthew 'Mole' Lambert (drums, vocals) - yep, there are a lot of vocals in the mix here and the record is all the brighter for it. The G7's long-players since 2016's storming \"\"live in the studio\"\" set Live-O-Graphic have carried way more clout as a result of this newfound energy, breathing fresh life into Crockford's songs as the songs themselves delve ever more skilfully into a pool populated with Dandyish psychedelic pop, British Invasion muscle, new-wave sparkle and that ever-present Medway magic\"  Too Late, There Is Only Now, Slipping Away, Let Go, The World Looks Different Today, Looking Up, The Last Hours of Aldous Huxley, Crooked Smile, I Dream of Sleep, Dandy in Aspic, (I've Got Them Old) Microcosmic Blues (Again)","brand":"Damaged Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39382029074582,"sku":"5020422051515","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3666359-2422999_1ebdfec5-4966-4d8d-9218-9bb05ffa22f2.jpg?v=1705224412","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/5020422051515","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
