Hung At Heart (LP)
The Growlers
Amoeba Review
01/21/2013
The Growlers create compelling desert rock on Hung at Heart, plying their surf rock with African rhythms. Singer Brooks Nielsen’s Dylanesque drawl gives things a shaded, laid-back atmosphere while the band works up a sweat on songs like the carnivalesque “Salt on a Slug.” Nielsen is as comfortable playing ‘50s crooner (“Someday”) as he is putting on his pancultural Paul Simon hat (“Row”). The band’s elasticity goes a long way, as they’re more than able to wrangle their influences into an immediately enjoyable garage-rock sound that’s smarter than first blush would suggest. Hung at Heart may sound silly from its title, but these OC lads are seriously talented.
