Forget the niceties. Forget the long rambling review. This is just good. Simple as that. Keighley’s Sound of Swami – as dodgy a name as that might be – have made a very, very fine EP. It’s 6 tracks, all minimal length. It’s a cross between Fugazi, Gorilla Biscuits and a few northern blokes adding their accent into the mix.
Everything about this has retro written all over it. The production, the sound, the intensity – it’s a case of same meat, different gravy – taking as influence some of the best bands (just check the band’s list of influences on their myspace) and playing like those bands, except reminding you its 2009 and it’s Yorkshire.
Not a lot more to say than that. Its finished almost before it’s started, but I just whole heartedly approve.
