Brooklyn’s Crystal Stilts recently recorded a session over at Daytrotter, which along with a few tracks from last year’s debut Alight of Night, also featured two new tracks from the band. Both “Through the Floor” and “Sycamore Tree” are delightful to listen to, that is, if you find a poppier version of Joy Division enjoyable. The latter is even described as “graveyard dance music,” so there you go. Head over to Daytrotter to download the entire session.

Crocodiles : Summer Of Hate

by My Old Kentucky Blog on Tue, 2009/04/07 - 8:40pm



San Diego’s Crocodiles are about to release their debut album, Summer Of Hate on Fat Possum, and are out on a pretty extensive U.S. tour right now to promote it. The band draws comparisons to Jesus and Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3 and contemporaries like Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts and Wavves. We’ve pretty much had the album on repeat today. A lot of this contemporary lo-fi reverb-laden fuzz rock is so hit-and-miss with me lately. Love this and Dum Dum Girls…Wavves, not so much.

A new song from the criminally awesome Crystal Stilts, this one a quick, deliriously noisy pop jawn called "Love Is A Wave," the a-side from a pending new single on Slumberland. It’s built on unending tom pushes and a treble-heavy shower of vintage amp gust, which is to say that it sounds about thirty years older than it is and we are not complaining. The Stilts will be probably be airing this supposed live favorite down in Austin this week, appearance schedule after the tunes.
