Portland’s rising psychedelic stars Swahili, despite their short career and being virtually unknown in the blogosphere, have already turned a few heads during their live performances, sharing the stage with, among others, the psych rockers Eternal Tapestry. Apparently one of the turned heads was Pete Swanson (of Yellow Swans fame) himself, who agreed to master Swahili’s s/t debut for vinyl. Released on the ever-quality label Translinguistic Other (responsible for the stellar Fungal Abyss tape), Swahili escapes attempts at quick, neat pigeonholing.
