Greetings from Mateo is the only True Panther release from former Rainbow Bridges member Adam Croce under the name Broken Strings. The album packs a wallop and provides an entirely new perspective on the surf rock genre in the mid 2000s. As the album unfolds and Adam, wide-eyed, surveys the beautiful, terrible surreality of millennial California, the music likewise ripples out from its scuzz-pop center to encompass elements of archetypal West Coast styles like surf, folk, grunge (the slamming Which Witch out-Nirvanas Nirvana with both its gnarly riffage and its psychedelic angst).
