I don't know what you know about Swell, so let me inform you. David Freel and Sean Kirkpatrick formed the group way back in 1989 and have been making great records ever since.

Too Many Days Without Thinking, their fourth full-length release, is their absolute best so far. From the thumping bass drum power of "Throw The Wine," through the rock 'n' rolling fields of "Fuck Even Flow" and the sweet ballad "Bridgette, You Love Me," Too Many Days Without Thinking is a breakthrough on speaking terms with the Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream and Nirvana's Nevermind. Am I serious? Goddamn right.
