About Me

We Are Swedenborgs

The Swedenborgs are a home recording collaborative drawing influences from a wide variety of sources ranging from synth pop and experimental to progressive, jazz, and post rock genres. The music continues to expand and mature around its archtypal myth, the Saint Nouveau. This undeliberate invention has become the conceptual body and title of the upcoming full length CDR slated for release in the summer of 2007. See the Swedenborgs' web log for more details.

"We are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of human life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude." ~ Alfred North Whitehead
