Swansea Sound - Twentieth Century (CD)

Sealed.

Second album from Wales/Kent-based agit-pop band, Swansea Sound. Released September 8, 2023.

“With its crisp, unfussy production, fizzing hooks and razor-sharp social commentary, Twentieth Century is a delight and if there was any justice in this world, songs such as I Don’t Like Men In Uniform and Pack The Van would be blasting from every speaker this summer. Marvellous.” Record Collector

“Twentieth Century is an absolute delight throughout, whizzing by at quite the pace and every track sounding like it could have emerged on some exceptionally cool 7” only label in the mid-Nineties. And they manage all this while dismantling the myths and glib nostalgia of that period. From tales of distant unions through online shopping to a sincere love song for Pete Shelley and remarkably catchy howls at the hollow promises life can make to us, this album is essential.” Clash Magazine
