They're like the Dream Theater of indie rock.
Hence not too interested.

Huh? You sure you got the right band?

What he says is pretty accurate. They do have a lot of tempo changes, interludes, etc. Listen to "bell" for example. Their structures are very interesting. None of it sounds out of place to me... but I can see it being a bit off-putting to some people. I dunno.

Yeah, i think Bell is a good example of that. But compared to say Polvo, i don't think they have that many tempo changes/parts. They cetainly are not virtuosos like Dream Theatre. Swirlies also have tunes where there are only a couple of parts. Their parts are just treated so differently sound wise, i think.

That's also something I didn't really want to say.

yea, theyre one of the bands thats cool to say they came from around boston (unlike aerosmith and boston). That song they did "pancake" is a shoegaze classic song right up there with "only shallow" and "leave them all behind". Get Blonder Tongue Audio Baton immediately.

Yeah, Boston fucking rules. Anal Cunt, the Pixies, Swirlies, fuck yeah.
