Gadigal / Sydney’s Crocodylus today unveil their new album ‘Limbo, please be good to me’, out via ORiGiN Recordings.
Coming together during a period of change, ‘Limbo, please be good to me’ is a byproduct of Crocodylus maturing as a group of songwriters. Written across sleepless nights in rural New South Wales in the blur of post-pandemic life, the album channels restlessness, self?doubt and the urge to reconnect. Bearing the band’s signature bite, garage-punk roots and sharp baselines as showcased in their two previous albums ‘Enjoy’ (2019) and ‘Muscle Memory’ (2022), ‘Limbo, please be good to me’ turns against conventional song structures to feel ‘something true’ and find motion even when standing still.
Following the previously released punchy Limbo, kinetic Attention and experimental Leech supported by triple j, triple j Unearthed, RAGE and more for their “victorious anthemic energy” (Anika Luna, triple j), Crocodylus have also captured attention from international tastemakers including God Is In The TV, Ones To Watch, BabyStep Magazine and more, with CLUNK Magazine praising them for “solidifying their sound in the wider alt-rock space”.
Working with producer Wade Keighran, Crocodylus draw heavily on their personal and instrumental dynamics in a reckoning with uncertainty and vulnerability. In an age of overstimulation and self?surveillance, they learn to lean into the chaos and turn it into the strange comfort of being heard. Today they introduce 8 new tracks, from opener Satisfy, which wrestles with the feeling that nothing may be enough, through to the the frenetic pulse of Overthinking and Achilles Heel which finds both pain and salvation in their relationship with music, ‘Limbo, please be good to me’ captures the sound of a band caught between collapse and renewal.
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.
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.
