Default Swirlies

I have been downloading their discog (officially) and have been very impressed with them after they were recommended to me by a couple of members. They are a shoegaze band that are relatively melodious but on odd tracks they seemed to disappear into strange electronic tinged interludes and still come up smelling off roses. With dual Female and Male vocals they could be classed as a poor mans MBV but they do have their own sound.

Here is most of their back catalogue for download from their own site:
Swirlies and Yes Girls Discography & MP3s | Sneaky Flute Empire

Recommended album:
They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons

Yes! It took me a while to get into their music, but when it clicked, I was so grateful their older material was 'officially' available to dl.
