"Los Angeles band Oog Bogo (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 of John Dwyer and Bauer's studio Discount Mirrors -- 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 guitar) and Grant Snyder (drums)? 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 LA, and siren to you an all-but-haunting message: that rock and roll is ALIVE, and now, with Oog Bogo's second LP Cowgirls on In The Red Records, you're in the front seat of their Chrome choir. Their momentum has only just begun. So don't get the blues. Giddy-up."

2023 repress. "Oog Bogo are a four-piece rock band from Los Angeles and their new album is Plastic -- an electrifying set of songs and sounds that just don't stop, working like a machine that makes joy and endless flips and repetitions, whether in front of the turntable or out in the real world. Plastic's tunes depict a polymorphic cast of characters. As in life, they leap avidly from style to style; from pretty psych rock to new wave apocalypse disco and harsh post punk bleakness, sometimes in a verse and a half. Corkscrewing over and over like a riff-driven space-coaster, morphing in and out of each successive moment with increasing momentum and gravity, Plastic defines and redefines Oog Bogo, with sweet tunes, barely-controlled intensity and sharp production moves -- a killer first album and an equally killer evolving state of mind."
