Dig Me Out: 90s Rock

Swimmer - Surreal | 90s Album Review


Listen Later

We'll forgive you if you missed Swimmer's one and only album, 1999's Surreal, because we did as well. Though released on Madonna's Maverick label, the band came and went rather quickly, leaving without making a blip on Billboard, radio, MTV, and the internet in general. What they did leave behind was a forty-three minute long compact disc full of drama-laden alternative rock that sweeps through the eleven tracks with equal parts quiet emoting and bombastic explosion. Nothing about the record is ground-breaking, but as is usually the case, the sum is equal to more than the parts.
