Swoon Biography
There are more than one band called 'Swoon'.
Swoon - Sweden shoegaze band:
Founded in the mid-nineties, Swoon was one of the first Swedish bands to once again bring up the sounds of the British shoegaze scene of 1989-1992. As other bands turned to Blur and Oasis for inspiration, Swoon took on the sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Chapterhouse and House of Love and modeled them into new forms. Today, although both the musical landscape and the sources of inspiration are slightly altered, Swoon still base their music on John Hårds heavily effect-laden guitars, Staffan Ljunggrens syncopated rhythms and drones and Ola Ljunggrens smooth vocals and intriguing melodies. The threesome originates from Kumla, but they all now reside in Uppsala and Stockholm.
They have currently released 4 eps.
- encore ep
- slipstream ep
- jetglo ep
