Need another reason to move to or at the very least vacation in Sweden? Swegazers. Yeah, that’s Swedish shoegazers, and our pick today from the suggestion box, Swoon, have coined the term. Like one of the masterpieces of shoegazing, Lilys’ 1992 album In the Presence of Nothing, which deliberately mimicked My Bloody Valentine, Swoon are not ashamed to show their influences, and like Lilys, they do it so well that their songs can stand alone on their own merit. So those of you wondering what your band would sound like if you were raised in Sweden on Chapterhouse, Ecstacy of St. Theresa, Ride, and even Lilys, that’d be Swoon.
Sharing the sharing.
Oh yeah, and today at work someone told me they saw a band called Swoon (in SF) after I told them I saw The Lovemakers. I was like "Swoon? Never heard of them." And as soon as I get home, I find them here. Cool!
Swoon (in SF) does SF stand for San Francisco? I don't think that's the same band..
'love this band..hope there are more mp3s for swoon…
