The Swingrowers (pronounced Swing Growers) release their second, fulllength, album ‘Remote’ on 9th February 2015. It will be available on CD and limited edition vinyl and is available digitally from December 2014.
“Remote” is a revelation. A complete and fullyrealised Electro Swing album that seamlessly blends 20’s and 30’s influences with polished contemporary production; Superb musicianship with great song-writing; a unique modern sound with classically gorgeous, jazz-inflected vocals.
This is the sound of a band (and indeed an upstart young genre) maturing rapidly.
What marks this out is the departure from any use of vintage samples. Instead, every track, every sound is entirely original - the influences have been fully absorbed. If there was ever any doubt that this genre had a future, then this is the
rebuttal. “Remote" is nothing less than a game-changer.
The album was written collaboratively by the new 5-piece. Now incorporating new members on Violin, Clarinet/Sax with the previous Manouche (Gypsy) Guitar, Drums/Keys/Production and Vocals, the album also features a collaboration with London rappers Too Many T’s on the story of the sibling rivalry between Django Reinhardt and his brother (Track 6 - 'Django') and is the latest in an increasingly impressive line of releases on Brighton Independent label, Freshly Squeezed.
