Amoeba Review

Billy Gil, Hollywood 01/30/2013

Jarrod Quarrell’s debut record is one of the most wonderfully strange and beguiling records of the young year. With the panache and attitude of The Streets and the weirdo storytelling cues of Tom Waits, Quarrell seems to fit in perfectly with a lot of his contemporaries without really sounding like anyone else. Chintzy keyboard effects move songs like David Lynch-esque ballad “Old Lovers” along and give his hip-hop-style crooning a grimey taste in "Say No to Thugs." Quarrell's lyrics and odd delivery keep Ex Tropical compelling throughout — "get off the roof ... you'll go splat in the meadow" he sings on "Don't Litter" while alien keyboard sounds surround him. Truthfully, Ex Tropical is better experienced first before I spoil everything special about it. Trust me; it'll knock your socks off.
