This could be the first time Will's guitar plucking has been referred to as 'rococo'... Kelley Stoltz Crock-O-Dials [ 4 stars ] Former Jeff Buckley intern covers the whole of Echo & The Bunnymen's debut LP. Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. At his best (as on last year's 'Antique Glow' album), Frisco-based psych troubadour Stoltz transforms the Portastudio into a magical instrument spewing warped, purple pop. Then there's 'Crocodiles', a flawless fever-dream of a record, where people roll around on the carpet and the vibrant, psychadelic texturing never gets in the way of urgent, economical songs full of head-turning phraseology - "Instinct is the common lawyer" (sic) and all that jazz. No Will Sergeant, Stoltz chucks out the rococo guitars and pares back to the heart of the songs, keying into Ian McCulloch's inner Roky Erickson and delivering versions that are simultaneously faithful and renewed. It's a worthy obsession, but you have to worry when you hear that Stoltz is already halfway through "his" 'Heaven Up Here'. Someone stop him before he gets to 'Evergreen'.
