Swimming
Swimming come via my sound doctrine inbox and quite kindly mentioned in their correspondance that they read my blog all the time which was a very nice thing to say indeed. Admittedly, far from the first time I’ve read that in an email and I’ve seen the Sound Doctrine monthly pageviews so either some of these bands are lying or they’re all browsing at the same time from the one computer which is a really lovely community-building thought and will save money spent on ISPs. Someone write that down, that’s a great business idea. It doesn’t even matter though because it was a very sweet correspondence and this album of Swimming’s was worthy of the time I’ve given it and more. It reminds me a little bit of O+M’s full length in that there’s a whole bunch of call and return, beats made through vocalisations and staccato strums, clicks and synths. Everything is short and meaningful across and album largely devoid of sonic foam which I rather enjoy. That said, it’s also the complete opposite of everything I’ve just described because what do I know and who am I anyway etc. Seems like there have been quite a few missed opportunities to see this Adelaide trio in Sydney over the past six months but one can hope they’ll see their way up here again soon.

I really do read your blog and enjoy checking out the music. So that’s one genuine page view you can tick of!
Boom! Cheers unkleE
I also read your blog, it is great! I feel like a lot of the time you do actually know what you’re talking about. Foam etc.

Foam, right!? Cheers!
SophieD does love the foam, as do we all.
[…] analyzing these differently because I’m highly biased toward Swimming who are most glorious beings (praise upon their name) doing things in Adelaide that aint no one […]
