- Genre: Rock
- Description: San Francisco's devout pop purveyors are back with a new batch of expertly crafted songs. For Hypochondriac, the follow up to 2014's Adult Life, Cocktails decided to head to San Francisco's legendary Tiny Telephone studio, gaining inspiration from the rare synthesizers and vintage analog gear available to them. The results are infectious as hell. InchWe had actually rehearsed these songs for a couple of months prior to going into the studio, which was a first for us, and it was important for them to sound big,Inch frontman Patrick Clos explains, Inchwe wanted the production to be a bit more legit than anything we'd done previously, but we didn't want to lose any of the live energy, so recording direct to tape kept it all still very loose.Inch Melodically, Hypochondriac draws inspiration from the catchier side of the kinds of 90s bands that were popular when the band's members were first seriously getting into music (think Supergrass, Teenage Fanclub, The Lemonheads, Dandy Warhols, Matthew Sweet, The Rentals, etc.). But with Joel Cusumano's ever-present hook-laden guitar leads riffing throughout, and Lauren Matsui's fuzz-driven Moog synths and near constant vocal harmonies, the band has set themselves apart from their nostalgia-obsessed contemporaries. Hypochondriac is a quick gut punch of a record - it draws you in with brief moments of sweet and fuzzy feelings, and then drops you by piling on enough hooks and huge choruses to keep your head spinning for days.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
