crocodile!

I might write about metal a lot, but I still have a sweet tooth for bouncy, sappy indie pop with boy-girl harmonies. Crocodile is from Oklahoma City, OK, and they look like real nice people. The group features Dusty Nelson on drums and husband-wife vocal/guitar/keyboard duo Raechel and Derek Brown up front. What makes them awesome?

  • They use custom-made guitar effects and analog synths.
    Their songs are unnervingly bouncy and fun. There’s even one called “Dinosaur.”
    I’ve always been fond of the world “crocodile.” Not only is it associated with another sort of badass reptile, but it also makes me think of Chocodiles, which was my favorite Hostess snack cake (Twinkies covered in chocolate!).
    They make me happy.
  • If you like being happy, you should probably check them out. Or just be miserable. See if I care. Crocodile plan to release an EP, The Great Depression, in late January…so that means any day now. Rock!
