BIO
In a time when everyone who isn’t Crookers is claiming to be a “disco act”, there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. The Swiss, however, are a legit live disco band who’s existence is based on entirely on flavour and good times rather than the Cobra Snake and fitted caps. [NERDY BIT: They are a band who are getting Giancarlo Meo tattoos rather than googling Giorgio Moroder best-of tracklists]
The EP “Movements” is testament to what lies at the core lifestyle of The Swiss: crisp and snappy drums that cause pregnancies, quicksand lazer-sludge bass, dizzy pops & flourishes, melody rays and synthesised strings that glide on the thermal currents of life. It’s as much a breathy telephone call as it is a mid-range Bordeaux shared between ensconced lovers.
Produced by Donnie Sloan (Empire Of The Sun), “Movements” is a jam-lover’s jam. A first-class ticket aboard the Jam Express, all the way to Jam Central, Jamsville, the Jamniverse.
Supported by: Niko Schwind, Joseph Maesano, Atochi, Irakli Shonia, Martin Dzetkulic, Anderson Noise, M.I.D.I, Mandy Jordan, Steve Parker, Sabb, Sami Wentz, Mandy Vekton, Audioma, Sire_G and many more...
