Poole, Dougie
(purple) The Rainbow Wheel Of Death
Country songwriter from Brooklyn's indie underground, Dougie Poole blurs the lines between genre and generation on his third solo album, 'The Rainbow Wheel Of Death'. Rooted in sharp songwriting and the organic sounds of a live-in-the-studio band, it's a classic-sounding record for the modern world. 'The Rainbow Wheel Of Death' nods to the colorful pinwheel that appears onscreen whenever a computer's application stalls. For Poole - who found himself working as a freelance computer programmer once the pandemic brought his touring schedule to a temporary halt in 2020 - it's also a reference to the holding pattern that's left much of society feeling stuck, unable to move ahead in an uncertain world. Comes on limited purple vinyl.
