SINGLE REVIEW: Alligator Ladies - Crazy Magician Man
With a name like Alligator Ladies and a song called 'Crazy Magician Man,' you’d expect something a little offbeat, and this track more than delivers. It's an unpredictable fusion of raw, Sabbath-style heaviness and the strange, whimsical energy of 70s freak folk, creating something that feels both chaotic and oddly magnetic.
From the moment it kicks in, 'Crazy Magician Man' is all jagged edges and fever-dream energy, with blistering riffs that lurch and twist like a puppet on frayed strings. The heavy, doom-laced guitars stomp forward with a menacing weight, but there’s a mischievous undercurrent that keeps things from sinking too deep into sludge. Vocals weave through the madness with a manic, almost theatrical quality—half incantation, half fevered rant—leaning into the song’s mystical, larger-than-life persona.
The chemistry between Ben Avgay and Eden Atiya is undeniable, and their genre-blurring instincts are what make this track stand out. It’s a wild ride that never quite settles, balancing moments of brute force with flashes of eerie, psych-folk eccentricity. For those who like their rock a little weird and a lot unpredictable, 'Crazy Magician Man' is a trip worth taking.
