and after I finished the listening once I immediately started listening again which is a rarity for me, it usually takes a day or so to make my way back to albums I like for another listen.
After my first listen I did a little research and found the bands lineup consisted of some of my favorite artists: Jeremiah Lockwood of Balkan Beat Box, Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, two guys from Antibalas and a member of Arcade Fire. You just can't go wrong with such an assembly of talent.
The Youtube samples hardly do the album justice because they're all from live performances but they do give you a great idea of what The Sway Machinery sounds like.
If you want to skip the story the song starts at around 2:03 but it adds a lot
An audience recording during one of the stand out tracks on the album...It sounds way better recorded right...trust me
