The Swamp Album - [ pictures listen Media Music Indie ]
By Ling Wei (Music veteran commentator and Radio DJ)
 
As an indepent band for 10 years, this is the Swamp's first officially released album in China. "Rome won't be built in a day!", it takes them 10 years to creat this album of more than 20 songs, which not only accumulate the most ambition and tension, but witness their maturation and greatness of music. Today, the Swamp put their muscial style as aesthetic and blurred. They melt progessive rock, post rock and different kinds of alternative electronic into their music, which is exquisitely touching, or enthusiastic. Continuously endless sadness contains unlimited potential. with significant lyrics, here comes to you an attractive and gorgeous poetic world. You will find various elements inside, including Jazz and chill-out, not in a route, but showing originally, just like coverall exposing what they feel and what they think. Also like "the Swamp": seems not only weary, but sentimentally, not only sluggish, but also flowing, not only dissipated and dirty, but filling of life and passion....In a word, The Swamp is not only normal independent band. Their music will become classic.
Who should we still believe? … The Swamp’s “Seeing the Doctor” - [ Media Music Indie ]
......If you just listen to the prelude, you will feel this song is easy listening, and it also makes you forgive the uneasiness and intense. The feeling is just like the song, “we are going to fade out”, in last album, which is a lucid and lively rhythm of alternative rock, noisy effects of guitar and sad melody. What expressed in the lyrics blows out conflict of the real world that our human beings live in.
There is background mixed with the song which fans of the swamp like most. Seemingly crazy guitar makes you feel much uneasy. We don’t know if it is the accurate expression of the real world or it is to intend its sadness, which is difficult to understand......
Please “Shut Up!” --- The Swamp’s New E.P “See the Doctor” - [ Media Indie Music ]
......The first song, “Be Patient”, will give us big surprise. The usage of JAZZ component shows that they have been trying to combine creative spirit of different music.
E.P “See the Doctor’s creating background is based on the band agent Mr. Lin who wants to disclose a cheating doctor. He pretended that his lower part of body itches. Finally the doctor hadn’t done any normal medical check and made an unbelievable decision with very expensive descriptions. That ‘s this song’s composing base. Surrounding by the noise guitar and fast speeding drumming, and water-boiling bass-lines, you will feel you couldn’t breathe. You will feel the darkness of black metal in the climax of the song.
“Depressing” is the best song I like in this album. In the beginning is the simple drumming and clear guitar chords, and then comes out the brand-named guitar noise. The lyric reminds me the famous song “Wish You Were Here from Pink Floyd.
Every night, the sky of the city fills with AM and Fm --- thousands of kinds of commercial ads or sexual consulting radio programs. According to “See the Doctor”, The swamp put some sound sample which is original to record this crazy city we are living in.
The name of the song, “Too noise”, comes from the book, “Too Noise Loneliness”, written by Bob Bulbar. It is such a wonderful big-beat work, just like the industrial banning rhythms surrounded by chords. You will fell the powerful surfs coming to you. The result of loneliness is blowing out and becoming stronger.
In the last song, “Muddle headed”, comes from the feeling, which they had to face the criticism and satire in these two years. The climax of the song is guitar solo, which describes that there is no choice for lyrics. And it seems to show us the braveness of living in hard environment.
In the summer of 2003, I graduated from university and found a job. Every day, I have to face those who hide a dagger behind a smile, pretending to be humble, smiling and knobbing, and then leaving. Under all dishonest eyes, I have to repeat the same job mechanically, a day by a day.
In a totally strange city, you must learn how to deal with criticism, and learn to how to enjoy loneliness.
I still remember using such topic t2 year ago, “Blowing in the life flower of the Swamp”.
I would say yes! In the Swamp’s music, I can feel the spirit of being strong even though you get involved in difficult environment. In my heart, the flower of The Swamp will never, never, never fade out!
The Swamp's Profile - [ Music Band Indie China postrock ]
The Band's Introduction:
The Swamp, one of the most independent and alternative bands in China, is famous for their music, which is melancholy and touching.
Aesthetic and blurred is the musical style of The Swamp. They always combine electronic, compound orchestral music, Jazz, acoustic & country style of China and even industrial noise in their alternative music, to express what the feel, what they think and what they would take action, or to emphasize on the circumstance which the human beings live in. But, inside the music, we would still feel the spirit of Rock & Roll and the criticism of persistent philosopher.
“The Swamp”, you may ask what is the name from. In fact, it’s from the nature of human being to the shelter of our souls, which is our deepest secret. It seems so closed between both of them. It seems not only weary, but sentimentally, not only sluggish, but also flowing, mot only dissipated and dirty, but filling of life…..
In one word, their music is the best way to express what they feel, what they care about and what they are responsible to.
The Swamp has been existed for couples of years. Since their first EP, ‘Swamp’ released in 1996, they have been insisting to create, produce and release their own music. All what they do is called D.I.Y, from music composing, lyrics writing; sound recording to the design of CD covers.
The Swamp is also the founder and organizer of Kai Ping 5.4 New Generation musical festivals from 1996 to now, which affects the Rock & Roll history of China.
