Today, Australian garage-punk ensemble Crocodylus share their third single ‘Leech’ off their forthcoming album Limbo, please be good to me out April 24 via ORiGiN Recordings.

Following the previously released kinetic ‘Attention’ and punchy ‘Limbo’, supported by triple j, triple j Unearthed, RAGE and more for its “victorious anthemic energy” (Anika Luna, triple j), Crocodylus have also captured attention from international tastemakers including God Is In The TV, Ones To Watch and more, with CLUNK Magazine praising them for “solidifying their sound in the wider alt-rock space”.

Ahead of Limbo, please be good to me’s release next month, today they return with ‘Leech’, a track exploring new technicalities and possibilities within the confines of their project. Best put in their own words, they share, “No beating around the bush or metaphors here — this is literally a song about being a leech. That said, it might be one of the most technical songs we’ve ever written. Our producer, Wade Keighran, really brought new life to it. Originally, the song felt a bit too short, so we added the outro jam — which just kept getting longer and longer. Never thought we’d have a riff in 11/4, and the strings are really something special.”

Making a name for themselves in Eora/Sydney’s local landscape for their brand of “fuzzy, blissed-out alt rock” (Blunt Magazine), Crocodylus are a pillar of their own making. Made up of Josh Williams(bass/vocals), Stephen Sacco (guitar/vocals), Mikel Salvador (drums/vocals), Nick Meadows(keys/saxophone/percussion) and Jake Voroshine (bass), they are renowned for their exhilarating live show that has built up a fervent fan base, having  taken their music to headline shows in their hometown of Eora/Sydney’s Northern Beaches to the UK and Europe, performing alongside the likes of Ocean Alley, Hockey Dad, The Chats and more.

With two albums under their belt already, the band have since spent the last three years writing and refining their frenetic yet intricate sound which draws heavily on their personal and instrumental dynamics. Coming together during a period of change, their next album Limbo, please be good to me is a byproduct of maturing as a group of songwriters. Working with producer Wade Keighran, the band turn away from conventional song structures, limiting bar chords and run through a kaleidoscope of softer, sympathetic cuts.

Across Limbo, please be good to me, Crocodylus charge through all stops of self-doubt and apprehension, creating a statement that is a personal relationship with their craft and seek to source what place this record has in the larger realm of contemporary guitar music.
