The indie rock band Swivvel is based in Miami, Florida’s thriving music scene. Swivvel’s signature sound is achieved by the band’s expert blending of melancholy pop tunes with technically proficient, complicated instrumentals.
“Keeping up with HOPE with a zest of summer time SORROWS is the EP Passerby all about.”
The opening song of “Passerby” is a tasty punk rock rendition of the title track. Light, dreamy indie rock songs quickly expand into turn-to-eleven, boisterous punk events, fully embracing the chaotic mental condition in which they find themselves. The mood of “Swim” is hazy and pleasant, but full of life, and floats on a tide of mild humour and a sense of stability. EP closer “Newfound” is a reflective number with echoing guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics.
The EP’s release coincided with the end of summer, giving us a perfect chance to reflect on all the exciting things that happened over the course of the season. “Passerby” is a tribute to the individuals who enter our lives only momentarily, yet leave indelible marks, and it serves as a bittersweet conclusion to the summer. This album’s touching narration was inspired by Miami’s sun-drenched melodramatics and is worthy of a spot on your carefully crafted playlist.
