Alt. rock fivesome Croupier have graced these pages before, around the time their E.P. We, The System debuted a bold, melodic guitar-led sound with a Redneck Manifesto-like twist. ‘Creo Beast’, the first taster from their forthcoming L.P., takes the Wicklow-based experimentalists in an altogether jitterier direction and crucially, a more confident one. In knitting together the best bits of their earlier material, the dueling guitars and the aggressive whooping, they’ve come up with something terribly noisy and really, very fun.
