Led by singer Brooks Nielsen and music director/guitarist Matt Taylor,
The Growlers have forged their own twisted path on the global music
scene since their founding in 2006 in Dana Point, California.
They’re the party band that grew into a traveling circus, spawning
their own annual event (Beach Goth) and growing an international
fanbase, while releasing six studio records that trace a line from
garage psych ballads to edgy radio pop. On their first three records
– Are You In Or Out? (2009), Hot Tropics (2010), and Hung at Heart
(2013) – The Growlers combined reverb-rich waves of vintage surf
rock with the dark, slow-burn melancholy of outlaw country. Chinese
Fountain (2014) introduced a new, disco-infused direction that saw
them move away from their swampy roots and relocate to Los Angeles.
The band teamed up with producer Julian Casablancas (and frontman of
The Strokes) to make City Club (2016), infusing their sound with
Casablancas’ angular melodies and speaker-popping mixes. 2018
brought Casual Acquaintances, a raw collection of City Club-era demos
and outtakes that – even as b-sides – ranks with the band’s
finest material. Between records they toured constantly, raising their
status as icons of the Los Angeles music underground, capable of
drawing arena-sized crowds for their hometown shows. On their latest,
self-produced record Natural Affair (2019), The Growlers move their
DIY aesthetic into an even sturdier, synthier, dancier sound,
bolstered by Nielsen’s finest lyrics to date: social commentary,
rhymes, and ruminations on the pleasures (and perils) of modern love.
