“Both boys contracted strep throat from sharing a pipe with a hobo in San Diego’s Presidio Park, hence the lack of vocals.”
The above is from a press release for Crocodiles‘ free EP, Fires of Comparison, which you can get here, explaining the four tracks’ decidedly instrumental lean, among other things. If this doesn’t get you stoked for their sophomore album, Sleep Forever, out September 14th via Fat Possum, we’re not sure what will.
