Swell - Too Many Days Without Thinking | Album Review
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
Plenty of bands messed around with a lo-fi sound in the 90s, sometimes to euphoric effects, sometimes not so much. Swell dabbles: a white noise fractured guitar lead here, a flat acoustic guitar riff there. But on Too Many Days Without Thinking, they are merely small pieces of a more layered puzzle. Had it been played on Les Paul's through big amps, the album would have sounded very familiar, so dialing back the noise and putting it to sparing use helps elevate the band above their 90s rock peers. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Make Mine You 14:27 - When You Come Over 19:08 - Throw the Wine 22:36 - What I Always Wanted 29:01 - (I Know) The Trip Outro - F*ck Even Flow Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
