The Oxford based alternative rock band Swervedriver continued to develop themselves by implementing different music into their alternative rock and shoegaze sound. Their debut album Raise can be categorized as an album with a heavy sound, while holding onto the melodic parts. Their direct approach of the shoegaze sound can be heard by listening to a song like “Rave Down”. But they’re mainly focusing on the noisy and distortion guitar lines. While listening to the classic “Son of Mustang Ford”, you feel the roaring engine run and are drifting back into the American landscape. It’s one out of the 9 tracks, with solid hooks and shiny guitar riffs. Twisted relationships get their punchline on the epic “Deep Seat”.
Raise is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on flaming coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
