专辑简介

"Brownlowe and Miller have created a beautifully messy sound, combining tribal rhythms and off-kilter guitar work that is equal parts early '80s no wave and late '90s math rock". ~ Bob Hamm, West Coast Performer

Swallows first full length, Me With Trees Towering (LP 2006, Cherchez La Femme Projects), was recorded by Radio Sloan and received critical acclaim both locally and nationally in publications such as Performer Magazine, Punk Planet, and Skyscraper. The album showcases the band's progressive pop structures and restructured rock landscapes exploring themes of self-enforced solitude, life changes and creative interpretation. Em Brownlowe's guitar work is elegant and uses a wide range of tones, from low-slung garage to the off-kilter grooves of alt-rock while Jon Miller plays his toms melodically filling out the low registers and make almost no use of conventional beats. Two tracks feature guest musicians: Sarah Dougher (organ) on 'Surf Song, OR' and Emily Herring (slide guitar) on 'The Lonesome Cowboy'.
