Centro-Matic + One Baptist General + South San Gabriel

Keeping track of the distinctions between Centro-matic and South San Gabriel could be a full-time effort, if one were so inclined. Based in Denton, Texas, Centro-matic once titled an album South San Gabriel Songs/Music, only to give a splinter faction of the participating musiciansmeaning Centro-matic and more friendsthe name South San Gabriel and release that album in Europe under the new band name. South San Gabriel includes the four core members of Centro-matic, plus additional members, but well get to that shortly. You might be inclined to say that Centro-matic material tends to be more rockin, with SSG its mellow, literary counterpart, and Will Johnsons solo material aswellusually (how shall I put this?) skinny-dipping in the abyssbut it would be a gross oversimplification. Each of these projects shares all of the aforementioned respective qualities and more. What is distinctive about the release of Dual Hawks is that we get the chance to hear side-by-side the various ways in which Centro-matic and South San Gabriel complement and play off of each othersort of the full-length equivalent of a split single.
