  • It's Spring / Tomorrow We Triumph

    MP04

    Artist: Swoop Swoop

    Label: Metal Postcard Records

    ’It’s spring’ is a beautifully steeped soured romance of sorts - acoustically drawn, spectral and haunting as though Bruce Springsteen's. ’the ghost of tom joad’ had been magically invested with the numbingly mercurial mindset of June Panic. .. ’Tomorrow we triumph’ comes across like a lost 60’s folk troubadour and discovers Swoop Swoop finding the dusty bottle containing the mercurial essence of Donovan’s wayward but beguiling song craft only to ever so gently unscrew the cork to release the genii within. ... Quite perfect if you ask me.

    Incorporating a gritty lo-fi 60s sound, his songs would have also slotted in nicely somewhere on The Forest Gump Soundtrack, maybe for that classic shot of Jenny out the bus window...

  • Streaky Jake / What's Wrong? Nothing

    MPCD02

    Artist: Swoop Swoop

    Label: Metal Postcard Records

    Streaky Jake comes from Western Australia

    This album almost never existed. The original mini disc recording got lost in a car sold by Streaky Jake

    Streaky Jake remembers, “I started playing when my friend Lucas McCain taught me the 12 bar blues. I remember he played "Under the Bridge" at our primary school assembly and I thought how I really wanted to do that too after all the girls went weak at the knees.”

    “I guess my influences are a bit of a mish mash. I started out listening to Bob Dylan after I saw this movie when I was kid and they played "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" during the credits, that song blew me away. I loved the fingerpicking in that song which I tried to learn so I had something over old Lucas McCain.”
