The Growlers Profile
Californian acid cowboys The Growlers released one of the past few years' best tracks with Graveyard's Full. That mariachi-meets-lo-fi tape meltdown gem has been left behind, and on new “EP” Gilded Pleasures the rust and dust have truly been cleared away. Nevertheless, the nine tracks perfectly encapsulate the band's rustic, wasted origins whilst whispering sweet nothings of the sandblasted future. Brooks Nielsen's vocals are iconic, and potentially a stalling point, but if you can't fall in love with Hiding Under Covers or Humdrum Blues, then check your pulse – you're probably dead.
