Alligator Indian: Spring I´m in (2012) (Bleeding Gold Records)
"Though rising and thriving in the sun-soaked swamps of Central Florida and briefly huddling in the bed-bug infested tombs of Brooklyn, Alligator Indian weren’t truly forged until Spooky B. and Christian Church relocated to the subterranean crystal nexus that is Asheville, NC. There they spent two years honing their art and craft while unfurling a slew of EPs and singles, culminating in their debut LP, Spring I’m In, on San Diego’s Bleeding Gold Records.
Spring I'm In launches opportunely enough at the cusp of the season, but the recording process originally had Alligator Indian beginning work in their mountain retreat, the Rainbow Reservation, shortly after the summer release of their Football EP with Bleeding Gold. The resultant sound files came across like a worn out copy of Simon Reynold’s post-punk opus Rip It Up and Start Again dropped in a vat of lysergic acid diethylamide, if they may be so bold. And if'n they mayn't, let's just say it's pretty not so bad. The aural constructs begin with a blistering sci-fi tale of a world where tyrannical governments mandate who a citizen can become betrothed to. From there, themes and sounds shift between fuzzy post-pop, a cappella bursts of vocals, and industrial cries for contentment.
With all that being said, we ask that you lay down, place headphones around or within your ears, and allow Alligator Indian’s surreal pop to enthrall at least 3 of your 5 senses" (Bandcamp)

Alligator Indian: Football (Ep, 2011)
"This new jammer by Alligator Indian is off of their new EP FOOTBALL, which is out now on Bleeding Gold Records. It’s a darkwave force of nature that will invade your space and leave you in shambles only to come crawling back to it for more. After hearing the track I knew that I had to better acquaint myself with this North Carolina band right away. And that’s exactly what I did.
On their bandcamp you can pay whatever you want for the EP, and I suggest you do because this music literally does not stay in one place for more than a single song. It’s the sort of release that you cannot truly understand and appreciate until you listen to the whole thing. Cherry picking won’t work here.
They band explains that they’ve been working on this EP off and on since 2008, which explains its tendency of being sort of all over the map. It’s not necessarily a bad thing because all of the tracks happen to be really good. It’s definitely enough for me to keep them on the radar. I’d be really interested to see what the band is capable of should they sit down and pour their collective power into one definitive sound. For now though you should definitely check out the goods" (Enjoy: cactusmouth.tumblr.com)

Alligator Indian: Telepathic boy (Single, 2011)
"In the autumnal months of 2010, Alligator Indian rose from the ashes of what was once were Eleven &the Falcons. Comprised of Christian Church, Ali Maladi, & Mayor Prankster, this choir of cherub children was forged in the coal mines of Asheville, North Carolina. Twas there that these experimental punks popped their way into something fresh and surreal and real (real fresh, that is). They currently reside in 2011, awaiting further biographical information" (Vía:bleedinggold.com)
