Swallow The Rat bring forth a type noise rock characterized by a weighty approach and a noticeable infusion of melodious elements, often reaching the boundaries of stoner rock by way of their sound's psychedelic qualities.
The band has recently released their new album, South Locust, which serves as a testament to their raw power and unwavering intensity.
According to the band, the opening track of the album, Terra Nullius, examines the profound global impact of colonialism, spanning from Auckland, New Zealand, to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Swallow The Rat's new album was recorded by engineer Nick Abbott (Foals, Die! Die! Die!) at NorthWestern in Auckland, mixed remotely in Los Angeles by Sonny Diperri (Protomartyr, DIIV), and it was mastered and cut in Chicago by Carl Saff (Sonic Youth, No Age).
