Swervedriver – Future Ruins (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Swervedriver spent the better part of two decades apart before returning, and Future Ruins, their first album in over twenty years when it arrived in 2015, proved the reunion was anything but obligatory. Adam Franklin's guitar work has always sat at the intersection of shoegaze density and American highway rock, a lineage running through Dinosaur Jr. and Neil Young as much as My Bloody Valentine, and this pressing on baby blue vinyl gives that sound the tactile weight it deserves.
UK Shoegaze legends, now on baby blue vinyl! "Future Ruins achieves everything an admirer could ask of the reunited band's new album... Swervedriver now posses a melancholic, autumnal undertow that suits them like a little distinguished grey in the whiskers... a career-best peak... Future Ruins pulls off a canny trick, perfectly channeling their past, while making sense in the present" - 4 stars, MOJO. "The spacious, Neil Young-ian rumbling of the title track and the bulked-up power-pop of 'Spiked Flower' both see co-founders Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge venture beyond the template of Raise and Mezcal Head without making the faithful worry they've ditched their distortion pedals" - 7/10, Uncut. "That first song, 'Mary Winter,' is a heavy wave of swirling guitar fuzz offset by the soothing balm of Franklin's voice." - Stereogum
