It mostly eschews the rocking of Swervedriver's early years, but it compensates with disarming beauty.
Review Song Of The Day Swervedriver: Swoon-Worthy And Intoxicating May 1, 2009 The last 15 or 20 years have whizzed by, but hearing "Rave Down," from Swervedriver's terrific 1991 breakthrough Raise, still feels like a revelation. The track presciently fills the gap between shoegazer pop and grunge rock, marrying beefy riffs to walls of fuzzed-out noise and a glorious melody.
