Erik Swiatloch and his ambitious post-rock music project Swœr is back on this blog. I posted about the artist five years ago and he hasn't appeared on my music radar since then. Until at the end of the last year, he released a short but beautiful album called Patina.
The tracks he included on the album have titles referring to various geographical places and for me, obviously, the most interesting is the second one: Sandomierz being a small, historic town in Poland, mostly known as the setting of one of the most popular TV series. I presume Swiatloch took inspirations from the places he visited and, since it means he was on Svalbard as well, I'm very jealous. The music he creates is very much guitar-oriented and since he does everything by himself (and "the mixing happens at home on the couch with wine") there's a certain lo-fi atmosphere to it as well. But the most important thing is that his main goal is to create a beautiful soundscape of guitar noise that can transport the audience to some other place (probably the ones referenced in the titles). The drones are spacious and the pace slow, making the music not-overwhelming and quite soft while very satisfying at the same time, especially when the German artist adds some nature-derived field recordings and ethereal vocals towards the end of this musical journey.
