   About Swale
What we're supposed to tell people when asked:

Somehow, Swale finds a way to extract, and then express, the chaotic elements buried in peacefulness through unexpected orchestrations of drum, guitar, piano, harnessed noise, and voice. When main songwriters and partners Eric Olsen and Amanda Gustafson sing together, they create a complex voice that tangibly entwines weary raggedness with gentle innocence.

When performing live, all three members share the front of the stage, set up virtually on top of one another, a collective huddle centered around the untiring engine that is drummer/songwriter Jeremy Frederick. Their textured and manipulated sound, culminating in puissant highs as well as staggering moments of tranquility, makes watching this band nothing short of entrancing.
