Friday mp3: Swell Maps

Swell Maps were an experimental rock group of the 70's from Birmingham, whose sound could probably completely inaccurately be described as glam-tinged, industrial, early post-punk. Debut LP A Trip to Marineville has since been championed by bands such as Sonic Youth and Pavement.

This track is from that first record, essentially the meat in the sandwich of a three-track mid-album jam.

  2. Fantastic! I hadn't heard of them. I did know Epic Soundtracks from Crime + The City Solution. Good call. Thanks.
