This is a busy year for Crooked Cowboy, LA-based songwriter who, along with his band The Freshwater Indians, specialises in an experimental aesthetic straight out of a Western flick gone wrong, from post-punk-infused cavalcades of frantic country music to psychedelic orchestral alt-folk filled with droning vocals and eerie noises fuzzing through wide open sonic spaces. Delectably bizarre. With a latest five-track EP, Annalog And Her Hopeful Diaries released via Neurotic Yell Records, a next one in the making as we speak and a forthcoming collaboration with no other than Mr. Ariel Pink announced for November, the artist with the most self-explanatory name possible and a track record that would make anyone green with envy will be performing with the band a free show put together by Neurotic Yell at The Echoplex this evening (9.4).
