After a self-imposed eighteen-month hiatus due largely to the pandemic, The Swell Crusade has released the follow up to 2019's "Blue Skies All the Way." Officially available on major streaming sites such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and iTunes on Friday, June 3rd, 2022, it is available today here as well as Bandcamp.
The EP features seven disparate tracks that further refine and expand upon the sonic tapestry of their debut. Building upon its forerunner's strengths, the songs were written and arranged intentionally to allow each instrument space to breathe and add punctuation to the lyrical phrasing. At times reminiscent of classic 80's and 90's Indie Pop with shades of R.E.M., Oasis, and the Charlatans.
