Crocodiles and Bleeding Rainbow at 7th Street Entry
Crocodiles share a lot with Wavves, including a sound (washed-out fuzzy stoner pop) and a label (Fat Possum, which released Crocodiles’ sophomore Sleep Forever in 2010). But Wavves’ tracks boast a trebly immediacy, while Crocodiles slather theirs with reverb, echo, and ceaseless repetition, creating an atmospheric brew that falls somewhere between Crystal Stilts and the garage-inflected sounds of Crocodiles’ own Los Angeles brethren. Produced by Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford, Sleep Forever taps the same vein as the band’s debut, but also sees the newly expanded five-piece moving toward a fuller, shinier sound—allowing the group to broaden its inspirations, if not its horizons.
