Swallow(2)

那些不熟悉4ad的朋友，可能对Swallow这支乐队知之甚少，其实Swallow也只是92年在4AD下仅发了一张"Blow"和混音辑"Blowback",94年之后就转投到Rough Trade旗下了。
半实验仙音吉他二人组swallow越看越像是一队玩票的,要不然怎么这么多年来二个人一点动静都没有!玩神秘玩失踪也不用这样对待fans嘛!
由mike mason和louise trehy组成的Swallow可谓又是一队给人忽视的4AD乐队,原因?很简单,生不逢时.但如果听惯dreampop的耳朵对他们的声响都会很敏感,你只要比较一下90年代初那拨dreampop/shoegazing队伍的东西,你会发现swallow的声音真的是独此一家别无分号,Cocteau Twins和Lush完全盖不了他们

Swallow were the duo of Mike Mason and Louise Trehy. Signed to 4AD, they only made two releases before leaving. A briefly resurrected Rough Trade label enabled them to release a further EP before they disbanded. Swallow were an underrated band who never achieved their potential. Saddled with a replacement Cocteau Twins tag the band remixed their debut album Blow to break down the John Fryer production creating the more interesting album Blowback. After relationships with 4AD broke down Swallow began writing and recording at home. A newly funded Rough Trade records released a four track EP Hush which included a cover of Steve Miller's "Dear Mary." At this point Swallow briefly toured with Mazzy Star. In the middle of their album recordings Rough Trade lost their funding and for the second time Swallows recording efforts were in tatters. At this point Mike Mason and Louise Trehy's relationship ended and Swallow were no more. Mike Mason continues with music and Louise Trehy left the music industry.
