Providence, Ohio-based duo SWRM features Alec K. Redfearn (vocals & synths) and Matt McLaren (drums, percussion).
Alec's previous project, Alec K. Redfearn And The Eyesores, had already released several albums on the Cuneiform record label.
This new release is also out on Cuneiform, but as a download / streaming-only album.
Born from years of sonic experimentation and a break from traditional instrumentation, SWRM’s debut is a raw, analog-driven exploration of rhythm, texture, and tone. Alec plays bass and leads simultaneously on Moog Matriarch and Sequential Circuits Trigon 6, abandoning sequencers in favor of expressive, hands-on playing. Matt augments a live drum kit with repurposed household objects and harmonica, infusing songs with animal energy. What began as a departure from Alec and Matt’s work with The Eyesores has come full circle, reconnecting with the band’s emotive timing and dynamic feel through new electronic tools. The result is a compelling blend of psych, prog, space rock, minimal wave, post-punk.
