Hi friends! We are having fun doing summery things and also finishing up our 7th release to date in the form of a full length album entitled Between The Sea and Sky. Watch out for it later this summer!
Since 2003, Jon Miller and Em Brownlowe have been carving out a niche and a sound uniquely suited to their Swallows project. Combining sparse instrumentals with literate NW post-punk—plus queercore influence and orientation—the duo have graced stages around the nation and supported legends such as Team Dresch. With a consistent output of recordings notable for Miller's skittery drums and Brownlowe's mesmerizing rhythmic guitars and strong, resonant voice, Swallows are a tireless act that continues to hone their craft while currently working on their first full-length recording since 2007's Cloud Machines. A new demo streaming on their MySpace page showcases the powerful coordination that has developed between the two musicians, their two instruments interlacing effortlessly while Brownlowe's voice dances on top. - Maranda Bish, Portland Mercury
