Blondes - Swisher

Review by Jack Doherty

You can feel something real behind the music - slightly distant, but it’s there, somewhere.»

Rough Trade Amazon UK

Lush new work from Blondes. The evolution of sound systems on which Blondes played created a curve along which Sam Haar and Zach Steinman learned to build a universally impactful sonic experience. 'Swisher' unfolds as a series of mini-epics rather than a string of banging cuts. Still, the allegiance to the groove remains absolute. Percussive elements are most notably honed, drawing a sharp contrast between 'Swisher's rich timbres and the vaporous synth sounds that seep throughout the album. By focusing on process rather than protocol, Haar and Steinman allow space in each track for dramatically immersive environments.
