These days in indie music, there is a movement of bands that sound down-right shitty in their recording techniques and their tones, like Wavves and Times New Viking. This is nothing new, and credit must be given to the originators of this movement.
Introducing Swirlies
Swirlies creates music akin to My Bloody Valentine, just a bit rougher and cuter. They have the same elegance in sound and atmospheric bliss included, just with some angry stuffed animals thrown into the mix. The main way to describe Swirlies's aesthetic is "I'm late to school! I don't give a fuck!".
Swirlies has great song writing masked by unrecognizable buzzes and noises and lots of fuzz. This is heavily apparent in the songs "Pancakes" and the borderline post-rock "Jeremy Parker"; these are my favorite songs on this album, but the whole thing is great.
Music history goes in circles, and this is proof that even the weirdest of genres have some sort of foundation. Nobody is really that weird, and Swirlies helps you realize that.
