San Diego's Crocodiles have a lo-fi edge unparalleled this side of Black Lips. Cutting through you like a rusty knife, their songs perfectly meld essential noise rock elements with dizzying chord progressions that sound like they've been through a washing machine filled with absinthe. Their debut album, Summer of Hate (2009) bridges the gap between Hüsker Dü and T. Rex, and does it in such a careless flourish that you cannot help but be drawn into the séance-esque beats.
