Drawing us in with a cerebral frequency and intricate percussion, expanding into a dimensional and cosmic soundscape with a captivating organ melody, Zwaardvis open Swamp with dynamism and a holistic and cohesive nostalgic edge.

The drama amplifies with ebbs and flows and the presence of a theremin throughout the composition, laced with ASMR style vocal detailing and bold, cinematic synths that guide us into the universe of the rising Belgian artists. We can certainly imagine Swamp serving as the score for Hollywood movies, and the finale leaves us yearning for more.

Swamp by Zwaardvis is an innovative production that enhances neuroplasticity through immersive, dimensional audio experiences. This opus meticulously weaves together organic sounds with intricate layering that stimulates our neural pathways.

Speaking on the message of Swamp, the talented composers confess, “The lyrics translate to ‘Swordfish tribe. Swims in the sea. Sacred swordfish’. It’s about the feeling of belonging to a group, surviving through chaos.”

We learn that Zwaardvis is production duo G’houzi Rah and ?rusuto. G’houzi Rah plays the organ, whilst ?rusuto shares their skill on drums and theremin. Zwaardvis elaborate, “This is the final chapter in our space sci fi story, which you can read on our Bandcamp – every release we have done had a chapter. Our music has actually been played through the speakers at a space station. Sadly, we can’t publically share the video [as] someone would get fired.”

The talented duo continue, “For this release, we were heavily inspired by the Memphis Soul sound of Booker T and the MGs. It’s also the first time we used the Yamaha Reface YC, which we used in several layers in this song. G’houzi Rah used to live in New-Zealand, where he learned Maori language. We think it sounds better than our native Dutch, and it’s a nice clash with the American sound of the instrumental.”

We love the intentional and cosmic manner in which Zwaardvis create, and have added Swamp to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of the duo including E Aho, and 61 500 km per uur, and anticipate future releases!
