Hi friends! As the cold winds begin to blow we are finishing up our 7th release to date in the form of a full length album entitled Between The Sea and Sky. Coming 2010...
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
Thanks so much for the show! So glad we could help out. Tell Beth that it was great to meet her and we hope she's doing well. U guyz sounded great! I will repay the favor asap. xo- the i's
oh man...you rocked it last night!! you and jon sounded fantastic.
thanks for thinking up the show idea. we pulled it off, and in a ridiculously fantastic way if i do say so myself. the lack of WW pick was a little shocking, wasn't it? but we had a pretty great turnout nonetheless.
let's be in touch and play a show together sometime. i may see you at Backspace on Fri! i'm a big fan of Agent Ribbons.
Come see us at Dante's (1 SW 3rd Ave) this Sunday 4/19! We open for Sinferno at 10 and appreciate the support! Plus check out of new songs posted. We've just finished mixing and are in the final stages of completing our album due out early summertime! xoxox-minerva
