“I THINK I KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS - BRING ME A PLATE OF ICE-CREAM!”
FOWL SWOOP is the 3rd album from Wellington's MarineVille. Roaring out of the blocks with 6 minutes of psych-rock blast via 'The Birds in the Trees', FOWL SWOOP follows up with 9 moody pop miniatures crafted in the best tradition of post-punk and new wave.
Released as a 12” LP by Los Angeles label Last Visible Dog, each copy of Fowl Swoop comes in a screen-printed cover handmade by the band. Says guitarist Mark Williams: "We couldn't agree collectively over what should be Side 1, so one side of the LP is stamped FOWL and the other SWOOP…”
Founding member Mark Williams describes FOWL SWOOP as a labour of love - “We real-ly worked hard on this LP, crafting the background, the spaces between things, adding lots of subtle instrumental shading. Producing a record like assembling a jigsaw – why doesn't this fit? Does it fit? Etc.”
