SWAPMEET - Mount Zero - EXCLUSIVE Galaxy Red Vinyl LP

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER FOR July 17 RELEASE.

A world-class debut from a world-class band.

Impressed is grateful to team up with Winspear to present an exclusive red galaxy pressing of the debut album from Swapmeet.

A sweeping, guitar-driven road trip that recalls and reinvigorates the alt rock and slowcore of the 90s and early naughts, Mount Zero, the debut LP from Swapmeet, marks the moment the Australian four-piece come into their own.

Following their dreamy 2024 debut EP Oxalis, Mount Zero arrives on the heels of the band's signing to LA-based label Winspear, after stirring up buzz throughout Australia, taking home awards for Best Release and Best Song ("Ceiling Fan") at the South Australian Music Awards and earning the title of 'Best Emerging Artist' at SXSW Sydney. (Impressed was at that show in Sydney and were completely blown away!) Mingling airy sweetness with jagged surrealism, Mount Zero transmutes so many of the regrets and uncertainties of young adulthood into a burgeoning, newfound confidence.

Though the members of Swapmeet often begin their songs by writing individually, the tracks on Mount Zero ended up circling common themes: first loves, first heartbreaks, first embarrassments, first disasters.

As they've done since their earliest days as a band, Swapmeet traded instruments throughout Mount Zero and shared production duties as a foursome, developing their sound by layering dozens (sometimes hundreds) of tracks within each song, then carefully removing elements until the production took a clear shape.

The result is a record where Swapmeet bottle up the tooth-gritting intensity of feeling yourself change at the cellular level under reality's unyielding pressures.

The pressing is strictly limited to 300 copies, pressed on red galaxy vinyl and hand-numbered on a specially-designed obi strip. 

Only on Impressed.
