3rd Studio LP Swooner Released Today
On Light Organ Records
The band previously shared anthemic synth-pop hit "Get Dark" and fuzzed out, guitar driven album title track "Swooner" which is a feminist anthem in its own right. For an early taste of what to expect live, fans can hear the the full album streaming at Under The Radar.
Diving headlong into vibrant, experimental pop, showcased by stirring modern production, Swooner is highlighted by flashes of grungy hard-panned guitars, Prince-like synth flourishes, eurodance vocals, electric pianos and arpeggiators.
