I put San Francisco’s Silver Swans, (“Secrets”), on a mix early this year, and I can’t wait to hear more than the EP they’ve released into the wild. They finally released a video….and although not my favorite track on the EP it’s pretty darn catchy in its own right. So far, their music seems to straddle the space between lounge and dream pop, with a dollop of wistful longing thrown in for good measure. Think Crystal Castles on opium, rather than pharmaceuticals. Think M83 merged with the steady yet studied bass lines of shoegazer classics like Adorable‘s “Homeboy“. On the other hand….don’t think….just enjoy.
