Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Raise' is a brilliantly heavy, high-octane anomaly within the British shoegaze movement, heavily influenced by American alternative rock and grunge. Swervedriver merges dense, hypnotic walls of psychedelic guitar feedback with an incredibly energetic, driving rhythm section and bittersweet, lethargic vocals.

Genres

Descriptors: atmospheric, fuzz-drenched, distorted, guitar-heavy, loud
