Back To The Swamp/Orange Crush Vinyl

Bas Jan return with a polished and poignant collection of perfectly crafted pop songs that retain their indie authenticity. “Back To The Swamp” is a heady battle between their incorrigible DIY ethic and new responsibilities. Serafina Steer, Charlotte Stock, Emma Smith and Rachel Horwood cast a critical eye over modern times, lost love, Tarot intuition and long days in an everyday swamp. It’s awash with lush choral effects, orchestral loops, sharpened electronic rhythms and sublime harmonies. Back To The Swamp is filled with cautionary tales, it’s a reflective world view. These new studio recordings feature more fully formed pop production, filled with cerebral anecdotes that heighten the senses. There’s also a nod to an eclectic mix of influences: Pet Shop Boys, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Kate Bush, Heaven 17 and Jon Hassell by way of Brian Eno.
