Astral Swans (2015)
Calgary, AB
With musings that are both haunting and psychedelic, Calgary’s Matthew Swann anchors the lo-fi, unfiltered folk music of Astral Swans. No wave and ‘60s Americana converge with his space cadet lyrical monologue, resulting in a determinedly quiet yet joyous sonic adventure that flirts with the obscene and bizarre.
