How to make a living selling yourself short is the debut solo release from Sodajerk front man Alex Brenner under the moniker Swing Set.
Swing Set isn't so much a band as a concept. A concept based on making great folk pop records. Like Neutral Milk Hotel, Will Oldham and Guided by Voices; Swing Set makes intimate records that speak to everyone who listens. Alex’s voice is honest yet desperate; the music is melodic yet dark. How to make a living selling yourself short is fueled by do-it-yourself punk aesthetic and blunt honesty.
Swing Set is currently planning a tour and has already gained a following at venues such as the legendary Eddie’s Attic and Twain’s.
“A hefty helping of lonesome and hard luck” – Pittsburgh City Paper
“He can play a two hour set in fifteen minutes, hell of a songwriter” – Eddie Owens
( Eddies Attic)
“Alex knows how to write great American rock and roll and, truly has a killer voice” – Chris (Beta Monkey Music)
“Alex has a golden, unmistakable delivery and a gift of scribbling lines that oughta be etched in stone” - thrust_2.tripod.com
“Alex Brenner, a great indie-pop composer in the early 2000’s local band Manifold Splendour who decided to try his hand at country. Today he is without a doubt a truly authentic and talented country writer” – Purgegeeks.com
“Sodajerk frontman Alex Brenner strikes out on his own with How to make a living selling yourself short, his first release under the name Swing Set. The 13-song set is an impressive collection of forlorn hangover twangers, hitting the ears like a close relative of Jay Farrar and Rhett Miller” - Stomp and Stammer
