The Growlers - | City Club |

NEW WAVE POST PUNK



Still The Growlers! The album still maintains the surf rock integrity that makes The Growlers sound like The Growlers. Some tracks are heavily influenced by Julian Casablancas's synth productions. 

"I'll Be Around" is a track with a groovy, low vibe. You'll find intentional distortion all over this album. You'll still find the psych rock sound in this album if you listen closely to its transformation from "City Club"'s clipping vocals and major synth mayhem to "Daisy Chain"'s sweet organ and lo-fi ribbon-like vocals. 

Overall, this album demonstrates a pleasing musical transformation from The Growlers. Thanks, Cult Records.

Playlist 



I surfed the web while listening to this. It's very chill. A lot of foot tapping.

Almost all songs are moderate in tempo (96-132 bpm).

There is an interesting choice of percussion in some songs, like the tambourine. Electronic elements give the music an ambient feel. Distortion to guitars also add to the ambient classification; however, clean acoustic guitars are also used. The lyrics are repetitive and catchy. Vocals are somewhat raspy, which I personally love. There's also a lot of vocal experimentation with audible breathing that adds a touch of reality to the fantastical music.
