Swim Party


Another band out of San Diego, this one with a sound that's not unlike a mixture of Modest Mouse with violin (and a few strains of Godspeed). While they play some of the same angular styles that Modest Mouse does, they temper it with the violin, which adds a whole new dimension to the sound. I've listened to these three songs over and over for a while and now that the ep is out. Their sound is huge for a four piece at times, I can only imagine what they would sound like with the amount of members as Godspeed. I'm in love with this band already and can't wait till they put out a full length album.

MP3: Swim Party - Sunlight and Sprawl

MP3: Swim Party - Simplest Ways

MP3: Swim Party - Twenty Five (my personal fave)

Their myspace could use some more friends (like you!) and buy their ep here.
