Album Review: Crocodiles - Crimes Of Passion

Justine Keating

There’s just enough fuzz to remind us of the band’s earlier catalogue, with an additional softness that makes it far easier to digest.

The gentle rock'n'roll of Crimes Of Passion makes an unashamed nod to The Jesus & Mary Chain's Psychocandy – the main difference being a little less fuzz and a little more warmth. The camaraderie of light and dark that exist throughout the album are a refreshing and more palatable departure from the more noise-laden albums past, though there's just enough fuzz to remind us of the band's earlier catalogue, with an additional softness that makes it far easier to digest.
