Adam Franklin Announces New Bolt of Melody LP + Swervedriver Reissue
Everything old is new again, so it seems Adam Franklin and Swervedriver are going to reissue their heralded 99th Dream this January. But, for all intents and purposes, reissues are a dime a dozen these days, so I’m more excited that Adam has announced a new Bolts of Melody LP. This go round, he’s teamed up with the usual suspects, aimed at scoring a film, so to speak, and letting the tracks come to life on their own. The first single from Film Noir is this beautiful dreamland, creating this cavernous sound where atmosphere rains down from the speakers, the lyrics almost coming across like softly hummed mantra. This is a beautiful place to begin your day. Outer Battery Records will release both the new Bolts LP and the Swervedriver reissue on January 24th.
