Description
The rubbery bass walk that lifts the chorus of “Chinese Fountain” hints at the shift The Growlers make here toward a sleeker, dancier Beach Goth. The Growlers’ Chinese Fountain is the 2014 LP where the surf-jangle tightens up, neon keys flicker in, and Brooks Nielsen’s gravelly croon keeps the romance weary but warm. “Going Gets Tough” rides a bittersweet sway perfect for long night drives, while “Good Advice” struts with a sly grin, and “Black Memories” brings the shadows back in. This pressing gives the low end a deeper seat and the imaging snaps into place, so the bass-and-kick engine feels sturdy without smearing the twinkly synths. It suits a late tram ride across Melbourne just as well as a small backyard hang. Shelf it next to Allah-Las and the more melodic edge of late-70s new wave. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Growlers records online with us. We like how the band thread a party pulse through their salty melancholy, and it’s still unmistakably them. Start with the title track, then let “Going Gets Tough” and “Good Advice” seal the deal. A repeat-friendly set that grows with each side.
