I passed on this track a couple of days ago; I'm sorry, my life's a mess! But, now that I'm back with it, I think everyone needs to take a good listen to this new jam from Crocodiles . This is the sort of track I expected to hear more of when the band released their last effort, Endless Flowers , though that ended up a bit too polished. On this number, they still have some melodic hooks, especially in the chorus, but the song itself seems to ooze with [...]
Words by Brendan It's (roughly) that time when we look back and analyze the past year, identify our favorite things. I say "roughly" because, well, some people do these kinds of things in December, but that seems premature. We took a little while, relaxed, let the feeling of 2012 pass through us, and now here we are. (Okay, we had a lot of work to catch up on, and were just a little lazy, too. What of it?) I [...]

Crocodiles: E ndless Flowers - Crocodiles are essentially Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell. They used to tour as a duo, but have since expanded to include a live drummer, bassist, and a keyboard player. Their new album, Endless Flowers , is a musical exertion for your brain. The first song, and the album’s title, ‘Endless Flowers’ makes you feel, as the chorus goes, “lost in space.” The convoluted vocals mixed with melodies that reach such depths you feel as if you can see them promenading before your eyes makes for one of [...]

Crocodiles latest record Endless Flowers has been on the receiving end of a lot of attention over the past few weeks. The album has a kind of '80s feel, owing a debt to Psychedelic Furs in particular and none more so than latest single and title track, 'Endless Flowers'. One of many delights on the album, swaying back and [...]

In case you missed the, um, frankly unmissable Psychedelic Furs influence on the Crocodiles' new album, Endless Flowers , the band's new clip should help to clarify it for you. The video for the album's title track would fit neatly into John Hughes' filmography, right between 19852s Weird Science and '862s Pretty In Pink , and is almost guaranteed to "accidentally" slip into an airing of I Love The '80s at some point. Honestly, no one would notice. Check it out. Read More...

What's this? Have lo-fi San Diego duo Crocodiles turned down the guitars and gone soft on us? Yes, Endless Flowers is a lot cleaner than the scuzzy noise they hit us with in their first two albums, but it’s still packed with sizzling levels of distortion and Brandon Welchez’s unimpressed, lazy vocals. Only this time, it comes coated in a thick layer of gloss, less damaged simplicity, than carefully constructed, tended to, lo-fi. Title track ‘Endless Flowers’ sets the tone, sugared '60s sounds cut with glass, that little edge cracking the notion of [...]
Crocodiles continue their output of gritty, 80s inspired shoegaze. Frenchkiss, 2012 7.3 / 10.0 Taking direct influence from 80s shoegaze acts including The Jesus & Mary Chain and Echo & the Bunnymen, Crocodiles' output has consistently been on my radar. Endless Flowers is their latest LP, their first on Frenchkiss records, and their most [...]
Crocodiles - Endless Flowers By Kenny McMurtrie Cover your eyes missus, there’s a naked bloke on the cover of this. Titillation aside (if that’s what it’s meant to be), Endless Flowers is an album in the if-it-ain’t-broke-don’t-fi x-it mold. Crocodiles see no need to tamper with their My Bloody Valentine-esque sonic palette and indeed why the heck should they? Maybe I’m coming over all nostalgic for one of the defining sounds of my teenage years but the sound they conjure up (along with the likes of The [...]

Tweet vaso link Crocodiles did things the opposite way. In moving from San Diego to Brooklyn, the band has found a more upbeat, sunny sound. Their third album, Endless Flowers , (released this past Tuesday, June 5), is light years removed from their 2009 debut, Summer of Hate . That difference isn’t just noticeable in the name of the albums, but in the sound the band has cultivated. Summer of Hate was a primitive experience, filled [...]
Crocodiles Endless Flowers Frenchkiss Three albums into their career, and the West Coast noise pop group, Crocodiles, are still better defined by name dropping other bands like Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club than by noting anything that is uniquely Crocodiles. Even here, on Endless Flowers, as they attempt to incorporate the varying styles of Brit Pop, The Paisley Underground, and new wave fit for a John Hughes movie soundtrack, they're no closer to crafting their own identity. Granted none of this [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars A few years back, Dan Treacy of Television Personalities used Crocodiles as his backing band, and that's when I first caught wind of the group. I trust Dan, so I scoured the net in search of news, only to stumble upon a group that I thought was unfairly being compared to Jesus and the Mary Chain . Sure, I see the similarities, but as evidenced by Endless Flowers , the group has a lot more [...]
Crocodiles’ 3rd LP Endless Flowers arrived in stores today via Frenchkiss Records. Recorded in Berlin last summer, it’s the 1st album to feature the band’s full 5-piece line up, which has evolved... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
