Written in the heat of summer and recorded live in the studio with close friends and collaborators, it sets personal upheaval against a wider coming-of-age frame: the distance between a kid riding too far from home and an adult looking for relief in the wrong places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat tension gives the album its shape. Across 14 tracks, Carpenter moves through friendship, freedom, addiction, anxiety, love, and regret, with a sound that pulls together country, rock, and indie without losing its intimacy. The appeal here is less polish for its own sake than the sense of songs being played through in real time, with candid detail kept front and centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eKing of Having Fun\u003c\/em\u003e especially engaging is the way it balances warning signs with the pull of simple pleasures. Part cautionary tale and part search for renewal, it keeps returning to the idea that wonder can be recovered through ordinary acts: getting outside, taking chances, and calling your friends. For listeners coming to Medium Build through his recent rise, this feels like a clear, human next step in a catalogue already known for honesty about heartache and mental health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Vinyl gatefold edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted inner sleeve and insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes bonus \"King of Having Fun\" print or paper crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e1.1 King of Yearning\u003cbr\u003e1.2 King of Chaos\u003cbr\u003e1.3 King of Dodging Calls\u003cbr\u003e1.4 King of Envy\u003cbr\u003e1.5 King of Plywood\u003cbr\u003e1.6 King of Schulman's\u003cbr\u003e1.7 King of Freedom\u003cbr\u003e1.8 King of Little Treats\u003cbr\u003e1.9 King of Knowing\u003cbr\u003e1.10 King of Expectations\u003cbr\u003e1.11 King of Crashing Out\u003cbr\u003e1.12 Armor\u003cbr\u003e1.13 King of Having Fun\u003cbr\u003e1.14 King of Gratitude\u003cbr\u003e1.15 Home Run\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499031228481,"sku":"7819391","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/216764-medium-build-king-of-having-fun.jpg?v=1788137709","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/medium-build-king-of-having-fun-381751","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
