True Swamp Neglect

About Me


So we pulled the wires from the amps and waited for the buzz to fade, smashed the drum kit to atoms like an obsolete sofa and put all the tapes in a bag and buried the bag in a ditch.
Then we waited.
But no matter how hard we tried to forget what we had done, the drone continued to hum in our hollow skulls. The thrill of the just there drum fill, dictionary words gushing from tuneless mouths, feedback soiled solos, bass that would warn ships from the rocks and the ability to conjure something out of nothing lured us back to an 8ft by 6ft room and a Sharp GF-8989 cassette recorder.
We are True Swamp Neglect and there is nothing we can do about it.
The new album is finished, it's called Cloud Cloud Cloud. More details soon.
Neglect prevails!

Russia's curse

Perfume, brake fluid, de-icer, meths, toliet cleaner, nail varnish remover..."I drank them all," says Boris Kunznetsov. "Everything that burns."
