Crocodiles

Echo & the Bunnymen

Jagged guitars and velvet baritone vocals collide in a landscape of nocturnal anxiety. A blueprint for atmospheric post-punk that feels both cold and electric.

June 18, 1980 · Warner Strategic Marketing

A high-wire act of nervous energy and gothic elegance that feels like a midnight fever dream.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, circular guitar riff in Rescue that feels like a physical plea for help.
The sudden, jagged transition into the 'Going Up' chorus where the tempo feels like it might break.
The unsettling, repetitive organ drone that anchors the closing minutes of Happy Death Men.
