One of the more enigmatic bands of the classic 4AD era, Swallow, have announced the reissue of their first two albums, 'Blow' and 'Blowback', packaged together with an additional two-track single as a double LP + 12' /double CD entitled 'Blown', available from 5th June 2026. A chance for shoegaze fans to discover this forgotten gem from the 4AD catalogue, 'Blown' is an essential but underrated body of work embracing the genre's signature atmospheric layering of fuzzy guitar textures, accompanied by Louise Trehy's beautiful and haunting vocals, creating hazy waves and swirls of luscious noise.
