TastyFanzine --"Incredibly, given the highly intricate sounds on this debut EP, The Swims consist of just two blokes. Apparently it's just bass and drums which makes this release mightily impressive. What we have here is 6 tracks of dynamic, instrumental post-rock packed to the brim with interesting melodies and clever interplay between the bass guitar and drums."
The Silent Ballet --"The interplay between drums and bass borders on the psychic, as pin-sharp time changes and abrupt stops are dealt with effortlessly; as are the over the top fills and embellishments both players drop in from time to time, just for the hell of it." (read full review)
New-Noise.Net --"This is post-rock for those to whom the bloody term doesn't simply mean laboriously aping and boiling down instrumental rock to the most obvious and tedious of Mogwai/Godspeed parts. Something moody and tense, just mathy enough and always exciting." (read full review)
Smother Magazine --"The wizardry displayed by both players is incredibly impressive, especially when you note how thick each song sounds. Talented musicianship aside, the songs are aggressively written and perfectly performed. Sounding like a improv's wet dream, this self-titled album is simply stirring." (read full review)
"Artsweek also applauds them for giving new meaning to the "drum and bass" genre."--The California Aggie
Transform --"My advice: try writing a chorus or two, get a third band member, do something, ANYTHING, to distinguish yourselves and give me a call in a couple years."
