• Swell Maps "Sweep the Desert" LP

RM 80.00

ALIVE RECORDS

Punk's Pioneer Cartographers, Swell Maps released only two albums before disbanding in 1980, but the English group did not go unnoticed by a subsequent generation of musicians, particularly in the United States. Members of bands like Dinosaur Jr., Pavement and R.E.M. have all cited Swell Maps as a formative influence and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has even remarked: “The Swell Maps had a lot to do with my upbringing”.
