Sounds Like: JUST OUT SAYS: "Describing and labeling a band’s music is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall, but Swallows is roughly branded as experimental indie-pop with a post-riot grrrl vibe." - Tony LeTigre

PERFORMER MAGAZINE SAYS: "The buzz surrounding both the performance and the band is palpable, and after one listen to Me With Trees Towering, it’s easy to understand why. Brownlowe and Miller have created a beautifully messy sound, combining tribal rhythms and off-kilter guitar work that is equal parts early ’80s no wave and late ’90s math rock. The album is both a warm nod to the Riot Grrl movement that marked Brownlowe’s early musical endeavors and a bold step in a more experimental direction." - Bob Ham
Record Label: Church of Girl Records // Cherchez La Femme
Type of Label: Indie
