Sway began making noise in 1999, in Ventura, California. At the time, they were a four-piece garage rock outfit consisting of Andrew Saks, Amber Carlson, Seth Eubanks, and Vince Alatorre, playing shows and confusing audiences up and down the West Coast with its blurry wall of sound. They’re most known for the shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP released in 2003.
Andrew’s songwriting and sonic ideals are deeply rooted in the music he was surrounded by while coming of age: late ‘70s and ‘80s pop music. Falling asleep nightly while listening to 1980s pop and R&B, and then waking up late at night in a dark dreamlike haze with New Order, Swing Out Sister, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam whispering through his Walkman’s headphones, the sonic memory of such experiences keep Sway from ever giving itself over fully to the traditional shoegaze elements. The quest to recreate these musical properties is what later led Sway to embrace and be further influenced by the blissful textures of dreampop visionaries such as The Cocteau Twins, Medicine, and My Bloody Valentine.
In 2011, This Was Tomorrow was released by Saint Marie Records. It was Sway’s first full-length release and its last.
I think one of the things that makes old shoegaze better is the bad audio because it makes the song 10x more dreamlike
Haha it’s true
I've listened to this song 20 times since discovering it 12 hours ago.
same here!
Finding this after 9 years in 2021
Thank you lord.

@@mohamed.3380 Yo bro :)
I put this out on 7' on my label, Pop Renaissance. Loved playing gigs with these guys! Andrew and company were lovely folks.
amazing track
The few, The proud...The Shoegazers!
The new age shoegazers can’t do it the same
Agreed. Love new shoegaze but there’s just something about the old stuff that sounds so much better. Maybe the new stuff is just overproduced?
@@mleml2799 not only overproduced, but over-complicated! Could be the result of genre evolution. New gen shoegaze is starting have more mathy and metal core elements...at least in my neck of the woods. I gotta bring out the ol “Hide Yer Eyes” Slowdive bootleg every once and a while to keep things relative.
@@nikoberardo9213 Completely agree. Mathy and metal core is spot on. Don't get me wrong. A lot of it is great stuff, but there's nothing like the "garage recorded" dreamy sound and tone that the 90's and early 2000's had.
oh my god what a dreampop shoegaze masterpiece..great👏👏👏
just a sec and I already add it to my playlist lol
This song is too beautiful! 😭❤️
I think this song has a little bit of a Sunny Day Real Estate sound to it.
Reminds me of the Swirlies. Which is a Good Thing 👍
I listen to this a lot. Thanks for sharing.
I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

Why the hell did they "bloody valentined" the chorus ?
Why not?
Because it’s brilliant. It flips the initial impression upside down and completely alternates between two polar opposite moods. It’s cathartic
@@ghrtfhfgdfnfg attack, sustain, release, as they say
:)
wish the quality is good the distortion sounds like shit
Massacred chorus spoiling a very melodic song
It's called shoegaze not "Massacred chorus"
That’s the point
