Although this album was released in 2009, we didn't get a chance to write about it last year due to life's deep embrace into its very active bosom. This was a perfect '09 summer album so why not include it in your '10 summer listening quest if you havn't heard it yet. Rife with rampant sexual energy, fuzzed-out bass, blissed-out organ, ethereal Spiritualized-style guitar reverb and vocals, as well as some psychedelic freakouts, Summer of Hate is a fitting playlist for a summer of love. Crocodiles are signed to Fat Possum Records. They deliver a well-balanced mix of great driving bluesy rock tunes and fluttery hazy ballads. Crocodiles - Summer of Hate
Their sophomore album is due for release this year. Below you will find a video for the first single "Sleep Forever." More on the album when it comes out, so check back often. Interesting to note that one of the producers is Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford, who has also worked with Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, and Peaches. If the below video track is a result of this new collaboration, I cannot wait to see more results. Listening to it makes me feel truly spiritualized. Would like to see them play at Austin Psych Fest.
