"Some bands just ooze cool. The proudly independent LA band The Growlers serves up an infectious combo of new wave, disco and indie rock in Natural Affair.” — NPR

Icons of the Los Angeles underground The Growlers drop their much-anticipated new album Natural Affair today. Led by singer Brooks Nielsen and music director/guitarist Matt TaylorNatural Affair advances the band's swampy DIY aesthetic into their sturdiest, synthiest, warmest sound yet, bolstered by Nielsen's finest lyrics to date: social commentary, rhymes, and ruminations on the pleasures (and perils) of modern love. 

Self-producing the album, The Growlers worked with Topanga Canyon friend Kyle Mullarky (Allah-Las, Little Wings) to craft early versions of the songs, then with engineer Ivan Wayman (Father John Misty, The War on Drugs) and mixer Dave Cerminara (HEALTH, Weyes Blood) to bring a new level of polish and continuity. The backing band delivers time and again, courtesy of longtime Growlers touring members Brad Bowers on bass and Richard Gowen (Jonathan Wilson, Nick Waterhouse) on drums, with support from synth wizard Adam MacDougall and veteran bassist Dan Horne, both of psych supergroup Circles Around the Sun (continue reading full Bio in DL folder).
