I’m still not exactly sure where the Crookers are going with this whole Dr. Gonzo thing. It seems like an alias they’re producing under, yet they’ve said it’s not. It could be the name of their next album which I’ve heard is underway. All I know is that I like this sound, a lot. I know people started to lose a bit of faith in the Crookers after their album dropped. It was a radically different sound that Phra refered in the interview I had with him as:
“Not a 12 club tracks album…or a 12 Day N Night rmx album, it’s more what we like to listen to in our car when we are going to the airport”
This Dr. Gonzo project is much more of a step back to their original sound. Not quite club, not quite a Day N Night remix album, and not quite airport music, but definitely something good. They’ve also collaborated with two other artists once again for this EP. Lazy Ants & His Majesty Andre join them for Carcola. I think it’s about time for a whole new love affair with the Crookers to begin!

I completely love Dr Gonzo Anthem, and anything going in the direction of old Crookers can’t be bad

hey, have you considered creating a mailing list so people can get your updates by e-mail? :P
Nate June 29, 2011 at 11:20 am
I never thought anybody would be seriously interested in that.. but if you are I’ll look into it.
Josh June 29, 2011 at 1:06 pm
@Nate Definitely a mailing list. I usually miss out on new posts and only catch them via Facebook

You’re very right, you need to listen to this with headphones.
Harry Morris June 29, 2011 at 11:25 am
The first 1:15 was great. I just wasn’t expecting the rest. Still looking forward to more!

Thanks, still not sure what I think of it. But another question – do some of you out there actually listen through the laptop speakers? eesh.
