Relatively recently reformed 'Camden lurch' icons Swervedriver release their first new music in more than five years. Two tracks were recorded with Ride's Mark Gardner, at his OX4 Sound studio in Oxfordshire. The other two were recorded - quite surprisingly - by Rick Beato, who we all know is usually interviewing great guitar players. Well, he clearly has ability himself and is a massive fan of the band so is well suited. The format of this release is what's quite surprising and refreshing. We often see bands releasing EPs when they first start out and Swervedriver haven't put out one since the early 90s when they were on Alan McGee's Creation Records and riding the shoegaze boom that had begun with the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr. It's a thoroughly welcome return to the shelves from one of Britain's most treasured bands.
