Swell Maps - Trip To Marineville [Reissue] The Smiths and this is almost that

and this is almost that

The crate digging kingpin of house and disco first landed on Defected over a decade ago

in a lush East Asian landscape filled with rice paddies

and late-night samba-jazz with poetic essence

informed by shared stories and songs

Swell Maps - Trip To Marineville [Reissue] The Smiths and this is almost thatNoisy and experimental, Britain's Swell Maps experienced little commercial success during the course of their chaotic career, but in hindsight they stand as one of the pivotal acts of the new wave: not only was the group an acknowledged inspiration to the likes of Sonic Youth and Pavement, but their alumni most notably brothers Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks continued on as key players in the underground music community.
