Crocodiles – “Boys” – [Zoo Music]

Morada   6/10/2015   A Library, CD

Boys is San Diego-based Crocodiles’ fourth album. Despite the gazy, hazy sound, ubiquitous reverb and distortion, and dark lyrics (both are published poets), the feel is surprisingly poppy and it WILL get stuck in your head. Even the most poppy tracks (1,2,3,5,7) surprise you with bursts of random quirky noises. (4,6,10 are extra trippy/melancholy, 7 has a slightly Latin feel)
