Release Notes:
--------------
Very hard to categorize - A bit of indie, noise, dream, experimental
and some other genres mixed in
On their second full-length album They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days
in the Glittering World of the Salons, the Swirlies show again why
they're so aptly named. From "In Her Many New Found Freedom" to "The
Vehicle Is Invisible," the band's songs float, hover, threaten to fall
apart, and, yes, swirl. Though much of the Swirlies' lineup changed
between this album and their excellent 1992 debut album, Blonder Tongue
Audio Baton, their trademark mix of samples, sweet vocals, and noisy
drums and guitars remains pretty much intact. While songs like "Sounds
of Sebring," "San Cristobal de las Casas," and "Two Girls Kissing"
present their more focused, accessible side, "No Identifier," "You
Can't Be Told It, You Must Behold It," and "Boys, Protect Yourselves
from Aliens" use plenty of buzzing synths, loops, and Speak & Spells to
make more experimental noise. A noisy, sonically interesting album,
They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the
Salons may not be straightforward, but the eddies and dips in the
Swirlies' sound are more than worth a listen.
