They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons

Swirlies

A dizzying collage of fuzzy guitars, motorik beats, and electronic glitches. This is shoegaze reimagined through the lens of experimental pop and radio static.

October 1, 1996 · [PIAS] Recordings

Find on Amazon

A restless and playful exploration of the space between pop melody and electronic noise.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the abrasive guitar wash into the motorik synth pulse of 'In Harmony New Found Freedom'
The sudden, jarring electronic chirps that interrupt the melodic flow of 'San Cristóbal de Las Casas'
The way the vocals finally emerge from the dense noise floor in 'Two Girls Kissing' like a ghost in the machine
