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.

"We're digging their sound" - LAist

“Delicious pop” - Austin Town Hall

"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
