Swervedriver - Future Ruins (New Vinyl LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. UK shoegaze legends Swervedriver return on Dangerbird Records with the new album Future Ruins. The follow up to 2015”s I Wasn”t Born to Lose You presents a band moving with real time and real life vitality, showcasing new tricks alongside classic hallmarks. Future Ruins exhibits Swervedriver”s fabled widescreen escapism, but with a tension that echoes the sleeve image of Coney Island in skeletal monochrome, like a post mortem photograph of a failed utopia. “”There”s a lot of foreboding with regard to the future on this album,”” says the band”s Adam Franklin. “”Space is in there a lot too. In the first song [“”Mary Winter””], the character is a spaceman who”s trying to remember what life is really like. Also, it could be about somewhere in the world where winter isn”t like the winter here. A sunny place, but it”s December or January and you”re trying to remember winter. Something”s going on.””
