blues rock

Later Alligator is the sound of an electric slide guitar that has spent its entire life in the heat and is absolutely fine about it. A gnarly, confident riff cuts through the mix with the swagger of someone who has played bars in every small town between Memphis and New Orleans and considers that a perfectly good education. A fat electronic beat adds contemporary weight to what is otherwise a thoroughly traditional electric blues framework, creating an interesting tension between the organic rawness of the guitar and the precision of the production. Gnarly, cool, and deeply sure of itself.
