A Shoegaze renaissance classic, first time on vinyl.

The shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP by Sway has influenced many a modern musician, shoegazer and non-shoegazer alike. Now, Saint Marie Records gives it the long awaited vinyl treatment. The record now weighs a bit more, thanks to the bonus track ‘Channel’ and its 180gm Coke bottle green transparent vinyl.

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.

The Microphones - The Moon

Well I’m just waiting til you love me less, and i forget
When I’m dumb, I’ll take a chance and take it back, ignore the fact
I’m waiting, at the stairs, I said I’m fine, I took it there
I’ll make your body numb, I’m chewing gum, I’ve got no one 


I shouldn’t run
While chewing gum
Done lookin dumb
When I’m in love

I shouldn’t run 
While chewing gum
I shouldn’t come
If you’re having fun


Cuz I know
I’m dumb
I’m done
I’m gum

I know 
I’m dumb
I’m done
I’m gum

With your friends
I show my face to show I care
When I’m not there
In your case
I keep a place 
I’m chewin fat
To walk it back

For your sake
I know it is, I’m still a kid
But I don’t
Bend like that 
The times we have, I’ll make them last



I shouldn’t run
While chewing gum
Done lookin dumb
When I’m in love

I shouldn’t run 
While chewing gum
I shouldn’t come
If you’re having fun


Cuz I know
I’m dumb
I’m done
I’m gum

I know 
I’m dumb
I’m done
I’m gum
