Biography

Boston's Swirlies came into the light in the early '90s amidst a smattering of similar sounding bands struggling for an American identity in a British-dominated genre. They managed to forge their own distinct sound, involving typically dreamy vocals against pure noise, field recordings, Lo-Fi experimentation and pure, sugary pop moments that will surely be recalled with a sigh at the Indie Rocker's Retirement Home fifty years from now. Their forte has grown to include drum loops, synthesizers, Moogs, mellotrons and whatever might be making noise around the house. More recently, the band has found time, outside of struggling with numerous personnel changes, to release remix records with DJ Spooky.
