Liverpool’s Psychedelic beatmaker Captain Crocodile combines the spaced out, deep-toned musings of King Krule with some wonderfully hypnotic beats that hook you into a trance. Following his debut album, he has wasted no time in returning with new music. His two new singles ‘Screwed!’ and ‘Out Of Sink’, that come in collaboration with Videotrash, paint a wonderful showcase of why the Captain Crocodile sound is so inviting.

‘Screwed!’ leads with a beautifully moody bass groove that instantly lulls you into hypnotic state. The spoken word vocals then interlace with each other, shifting in and out of focus with an ebb and flow. The Grunge-Punk swagger is palpable and the groove is infectious, like a blend between Baxter Dury, Nirvana and Mount Kimbie.
‘Out Of Sink’ then leans fully into the King Krule sound with shimmering electronic textures that build up a dreamy landscape while the beat injects a punchy energy. The vocals then land loosely with a hazey psychedelia that you can let wash over you as your mind melts away.
Two captivating tracks that show both sides of the Captain Croc appeal.
