“Highly recommended” - BuzzbandsLA Bands To Watch 2012

“potential breakout at this year’s SXSW” – Operation Every Band

 

"Delicious pop" - Austin Town Hall

“catchy pop-rock music that’s dosed with electronics” - MusicalShapes

“their delicious pop single “Put It On the Line,” a tastefully synth-pop track, that is balanced with guitar & percussion heavy chorus’ that will have you singing & dancing in no time” – MusicSavage

““Put It On The Line” is a glimpse of the album – a layered, propulsive indie-pop number that grapples with revealing one’s true feelings for another.” - RCRDLBL

"Soft Swells channel the Technicolor guitar-pop of Summerteeth-era Wilco, balancing high-flying synthesizer parts against guitars straight from the garage." – MTV Buzzworthy

"Sounding like a byproduct of more recent Modest Mouse albums and Clap Your Hands & Say Yeah, Soft Swells come off like a Great Northwest indie rock band... A tidal wave of sounds with crescendos of drama and emotion, Soft Swells are a band that will sweep you off your feet." – The Pop! Stereo

WORLD PREMIERE:  THE WOODEN BIRDS 

"LONG TIME TO LOSE IT" VIDEO

The Wooden Birds, led by Andrew Kenny (American Analog Set, Broken Social Scene), are excited to debut the video for “Long Time To Lose It” today at BaebleMusic.   The song closes The Wooden Birds critically acclaimed sophomore lp 'Two Matchsticks' (Barsuk) and is a heartbreaker of a track.  "I've never been any good at goodbyes" starts the song which ends with a repeating chorus "It takes a long time to lose it"  featuring the voices of Kenny, Leslie Sisson, Matt Pond and members of Ola Podrida. The video was directed, shot and edited by Alex R Johnson (La Chima Films) in the Andes of Equador.

DOWNLOAD: Soft Swells - Put It On The Line

The duo's self-titled debut, recorded with producer Dave Lynch, will be out on February 28 via Modern Outsider Records. “Put It On The Line” is a glimpse of the album – a layered, propulsive indie-pop number that grapples with revealing one’s true feelings for another.

SOFT SWELLS ANNOUNCE DEBUT LP & SHOWS
STREAM NEW SINGLE "PUT IT ON THE LINE"

Soft Swells announce the release of their outstanding self-titled debut LP, out Feb 28 on Modern Outsider (Ume).  Soft Swells  follows up the group's hot 7" featuring tracks "Every Little Thing" and “Lifeboats” which grabbed airplay at KCRW and KROQ and started a Soft Swells buzz on the West Coast last summer leaving fans anxiously awaiting the release of an LP.  The band also announces upcoming West Coast shows including NoisePop and a showcase at SXSW.

Soft Swells was recorded in the UK by Dave Lynch (Clearlake, Liam Finn, Ed Harcourt), and is the first full length from the new band fronted by Tim Williams (Dovecote Records) and collaborator Matt Welsh (Phonograph) and they are heading into its release with great momentum.  Soft Swells were named BuzzbandsLA's Band To Watch in 2012, earmarked as "Potential breakout at this year's SXSW" by OperationEvery Band and recently featured band on  MTV Buzzworthy.  Their new album single "Put It On The Line" was featured track on MTVHive and also debuted in the Top 10 at specialty radio, all while glowing album reviews have been hitting online well in advance of the release, too.
