Originally hailing from Orlando, Florida, male/female duo
Alligator Indian aka Christian Church and Spooky Bubble probably needed the relative Appalachian remoteness of Asheville, North Carolina - a city so outstanding on so many levels it requires a
special segment on Wikipedia - to truly mature their music's splendid weirdness. "Dark Fruit", the first advance single off the duo's proper debut album
Spring I'm In, is a slow-burning, thoroughly surreal and off-kilter affair, with both the musicians' vocals slightly out of tune, intermingled with a blend of layered patterns of cheaply sounding, analog synth, and a simple yet perfectly suited rhythm section, a combination that might come across as confusing and a bit messy at first before slowly yet steadily unfurling its whole peculiar magic.
Alligator Indian's debut LP
Spring I’m In will be out soon via San Diego's
Bleeding Gold Records.
