Swampdwellers first CD was informed and inspired by the sounds of Fela Kuti, Miles Davis, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, and RZA. Swampdweller, an eight piece band from Seattle Washington, rise above their influences by mixing new sounds, new music in unique ways. Their Jazz roots are shaded with expansive arrangements and experimental flourish, a bombastic blend of afro-beat, hip hop, and soul. Swampdweller is Marc Fendel's newest project and was written and formulated while backpacking in the Enchantments area of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
