Our Take

In a world dominated by auto-tuned pop stars and over-produced ballads, Swansea Sound's debut album "Twentieth Century" comes as a refreshing blast from the past. This dynamic duo, featuring members of two legendary Welsh bands, throw it back to the good old days of lo-fi indie rock with a quirky twist.

From the infectious opening track "Corporate Indie Band", which pokes fun at the manufactured music industry, to the dreamy shoegaze vibes of "I Sold My Soul on eBay", Swansea Sound effortlessly blend nostalgic sounds with satirical lyrics. The result is a delightfully irreverent album that doesn't take itself too seriously, but still delivers top-notch musicianship.

Tracks like "Hobby Horse" and "Je Ne Sais Quoi" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and clever wordplay, while "Angry Girl" injects a dose of riot grrrl attitude into the mix. Lead vocalist Amelia Fletcher's charming vocals shine throughout the album, perfectly complemented by Rob Pursey's dynamic guitar work.

"Twentieth Century" is a love letter to a bygone era of indie rock, with a modern twist that proves Swansea Sound are not just another nostalgia act. So turn up the volume, grab a pint of your favorite ale, and let this album transport you back to a time when music was raw, fun, and full of personality. Cheers to Swansea Sound for keeping the spirit of the Twentieth Century alive in the 21st century.
