Since the release of their first LP Are You In or Out? In 2009, The Growlers have forged their own twisted path on the global music scene. They’re the party band that grew into a traveling circus of psychedelia that spawned their own event, Beach Goth. Lead singer Brooks Nielsen draws a particular devotion among Growlers fans, as does chief cohort Matt Taylor, The Growlers’ music director and chief guitarist.
After spending the past few years as something of a journeyman, it comes as no surprise that Kirin J Callinan’s second album, Bravado, is a creation with few boundaries. What does come as a surprise, even for those who have come to expect the unexpected from Kirin, is the stylistic direction undertaken on Bravado. With his 2013 debut album Embracism, Kirin emerged as a firebrand guitarist, pushing the instrument’s capabilities to logical extremes. On Bravado, industrial macho menace has been relegated to the side-lines. In its place? Unabashed EDM euphoria.
