Swoon

Following their acclaimed debut, this sophomore effort expands their fuzzed-out, 1990s-indebted alternative rock sound with orchestral string arrangements and noticeably cleaner, stadium-ready production. Propelled by the massive success of the single 'Panic Switch', the album balances Brian Aubert's raspy, androgynous vocals against heavy walls of Smashing Pumpkins-esque guitar distortion. It solidified their status as alternative radio mainstays for the turn of the decade.
