My Shoegaze Boyfriend

Bleary San Diego rockers Crocodiles released Endless Flowers, their last album, just one year ago, and they’ve already announced plans to release Crimes Of Passion, its follow-up, due later this summer. Crocodiles frontman Brandon Welchez is married to Dum Dum Girls leader Dee Dee, and for this album, Crocodiles recruited a frequent Dum Dums collaborator, the Raveonettes, Sune Rose Wagner, to serve as producer. “Cockroach” is the first song we’ve heard from Crimes Of Passion, and it adds just a touch of polish to the band’s druggy roar.

Kevin Shields claims that the new My Bloody Valentine album could be released in “two or three days”.

Yeah? I’ll believe it when I hear it.

In the meantime, the band played a new song off the album at their January 27th gig at Electric Brixton.
