Svvamp Stream New Track “Oh Girl”; Self-Titled Debut out Aug. 19

svvamp

Swedish boogie groovers Svvamp will make their self-titled debut via RidingEasy Records on Aug. 19. The trio previously announced same last month by unveiling a track from the record, and to go with the album art and preorders, they’ve followed up with another audio teaser, this time the cut “Oh Girl,” which you can hear below. The vintage-style riffing is evident from the very start of the song and one can hear a pronounced influence from Pentagram‘s First Daze Here as well as Blue Cheer, as though the last 45-plus years were melted away and the capital-letters Psychedelic Era begun anew. Easy enough to dig where they’re coming from, and though Sweden suffers no lack of classic heavy enthusiasts these days, it doesn’t take much more than the rumbling bass tone in the second half of “Oh Girl” to have me hooked.

Looking forward to hearing the rest. In the meantime, here’s what we know:

Countless bands today strive to sound genuine — whether faking their way through a ProTools pastiche of carefully assembled takes, painstakingly tarnishing tracks to give them a “live feel” or simply copying the style of their favorite band. And, usually, their posturing is entirely transparent.

Every once in a while though, you find a band without self-conscious pretense that truly echoes the mood and vibe of an era when the rulebooks were burned with the draft cards and the act of playing rock’n’roll was simultaneously defiant and inherently casual. Swedish trio Svvamp is just that type of primordial beauty captured on a perfect 11-song debut.

Svvamp was created by three friends – Adam Johansson, Henrik Bjorklund and Erik Stahlgren – drawn together for the sake of jamming and a love of rock, folk and blues. Their resulting heavy psych sound is immediately gripping in its homespun feel and hints of Cream, Eric Bell-era Thin Lizzy, CCR and Crazy Horse.
