Describing Swarms, a three-piece band out of Bristol, is a bit difficult. They meld together different aspects of ambient and experimental genres with a dash of trip-hop, all based in a foundation of dubstep. It’s really more of a feeling than concrete genre tags: mood music, if you will, all carefully assembled bleeps and bloops that come together in a complicated and strangely arresting way. “Flikr for ur Eyes,” for instance, builds itself up around a distorted vocal sample and a relaxed guitar line before the drums come in and the beat begins to coalesce around itself. It’s relaxing but also intriguing, equal parts study music and something to really delve into. Get the rest of Old Raves End and see for yourself.
