Swim Party is a three piece indie rock band from San Diego that formed in 2005 when recent transplants Petro Halkowycz and Eric Tremblay and native Alex Devereaux bonded over similar musical interests. Their debut full-length Pixie Dust on the Blood Range showcases angular, clever indie rock reminiscent of bands like Modest Mouse and Broken Social Scene. The melodies’ intensity build over many layers and sonic noises in what the band calls “indie acoustic death metal.” If you like indie pop with touches of moody indie rock then pick-up Pixie Dust on the Blood Range – you will also be treated to the best record packaging I’ve seen in a long time!
