Crocodiles
LABEL: Fat Possum

San Diego's Crocodiles are as dangerous and sneaky as their chosen power animal. The duo, featuring Brandon Welchez of spry rockers The Prayers and formerly of The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, make seductive and brittle garage rock with drum machines, their tempos just slow enough to lull you into jaws of clattering guitars and constant Farfisa whine. "I can't stand it," Welchez stammers during every chorus, in between talk of salvation and outcasts, and we wonder why, because we could totally stand to sit and listen to this song over and over again (like we have) and think about really drastic and apocalyptic stuff like that. If you're at all a fan of vintage sounds and crackly 45s, make sure to grab this. —from rcrdlbl.com/

Sounds in the hot air under the premise of a hateful summer, hateful due to the fact of perhaps being alone inside your room with a flavor in your mouth and feeling like you almost have a headache but you do not and you almost threw up but you didn't. There is a sensation of that strangeness in Crocodiles songs, all wrapped up in a noisy low fi arrangement, where you feel that you can almost scream to your Jesus cross in the room for help and salvation from whom ever layed dark thoughts inside the head. So, it's ok, while all the kids sing swan songs, come and sing along under a hate weather.
