Swirlies- Blonder Tongue Audio Baton

Label: Taang!

Reissued 8/14/2026, Originally released 1993

Originally a Go-Go's cover band called Raspberry Bang, the Swirlies formed in Boston, MA, in 1990. 1993's "Blonder Tongue Audio Baton" continued the band's foray into sonic experimentation. The addition of tape loops, found sounds, Moogs, Mellotrons, and white noise made the Swirlies' sound an interesting cross between lo-fi concrete music and shoegazing dream pop. Now available on cassette.
