Free Music: Crocodiles “Sleep Forever”

“Sleep Forever” is the title track from Crocodiles‘ forthcoming full-length, due out September 14 on Fat Possum. Look for “Sleep Forever” as a 7″ with the b-side “Groove is in the Heart/California Girls” on August 17. This album marks the first the band has worked with producer (Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons) and Simian Mobile Disco member James Ford. Overall, “Sleep Forever” is cleaner than anything on the band’s first album Summer of Hate but still delivers the scuzzy blend of post punk and 60′s pop that made their debut so addictive.
