Power Chords

Powerful Guitar Chords, Mike Krol's latest Merge release, continues from where 2015's Turkey ended. It follows Krol's return to punk rock, using guitar skills and musical redemption from the title. With influences like Misfits, The Strokes, early Weezer, and Ramones, he amps up the intensity. Krol has reached new ground. Amid self - analysis and self - loathing, he found complex guitar lines and artfully changing melodies. Music first wrecked Krol's life then saved it. In documenting this, he made his best record - painful, voyeuristic, angry, yet transcendent and timeless. It's like the chords are playing him rather than the other way around.

To enjoy this album, just pop it into your music player or stream it on your favorite music app. You can listen to it from start to finish to fully experience Krol's musical journey. While listening, let yourself get lost in the emotions and the unique guitar sounds. There aren't any special things to note during listening, just relax and take it all in. As for maintenance, if you have a physical copy, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the disc or cover.
