Album Notes & Community Reviews

'They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days...' is a brilliantly eccentric, highly technical collision of lo-fi shoegaze and early indietronica. Swirlies pairs incredibly noisy, dissonant indie rock guitars with mellow dream pop melodies, strange synthesizer blips, and complex, cryptic rhythmic shifts.
