OOG BOGO - Cowgirls LP

Highly recommended.

Los Angeles band featuring former Meatbodie Kevin Boog have released an EP and an LP for Ty Segall’s God? label - now their second LP arrives via In The Red. “Cowgirls” goes off-road, so buckle up, because with songwriter Kevin Boog and engineer Eric Bauer behind the wheel anything can happen.

In March of 2024, John Hodge stomped the four-to-the-floor on drums and percussion, as Boog swung back and forth between mutated melodies and total auditory annihilation, vocally and instrumentally. Together, the two swerved hazardously through several roads of smoldering sonic debris…

But where does this road lead now? Veering a sharp left turn off the course of Oog Bogo’s previous genres? Sure.

A new, unmatched lineup consisting of Gabe Flores (on lead guitar/backing vocals), Julian Betts (bass) and Grant Snyder (drums)? Why we’re glad you asked! Yes.

Accelerating forward, Oog Bogo’s Wipers reject the sorrows of darkened skies that hover over Los Angeles. Monolithic guitar tones grind like freight Trux, flanking you in stereoscopic bliss, as bass metronomically demands your movement alongside their pounding percussive speedometer.

Oog Bogo’s harmonies of the lost highways weave you through L.A, and siren to you an all-but-haunting message: that rock and roll is ALIVE… and now, with Oog Bogo’s second LP, you’re in the front seat of their Chrome choir.

Their momentum has only just begun. So don’t get the blues. Giddy-up.
