Media: Swingin' Utters: “Brains”

Posted by brittany on Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 1:00 PM (EST)

Swingin' Utters have released another song from their forthcoming release, Poorly Formed, via Revolver magazine. The song, entitled "Brains," draws inspiration from various platforms as described by lead singer, Johnny Bonnel:

Jack [Dalrymple] wrote the music, I wrote the lyrics... This was my favorite music Jack sent me to write a song to. When we went in to record a rough demo for this, it was originally titled 'He Must Respect The Chemistry' and needed some tweeking. 'Brains' was inspired by my wife, The Velvet Underground's 'Sunday Morning,' The Cure, and 'The Walking Dead'. It's never just one thing!"

Poorly Formed is due out February 19, 2013 on Fat Wreck Chords.

Swingin' Utters will be heading out on tour next week.

I think I would like this a lot more if the vocals were put in the foreground instead of mixed in kinda flatly with the rhythm. Cool song, though. I never really listened to the Utters despite all the songs I've heard on various comps. What's a good place to start with these guys?

Juvenile Product was my first SU record. It's a pretty good starting place.

I'd recommend Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass and Bones. It's kind of the bridge between the older, heavier, faster sound and the newer roots influenced sound. From there you can go either direction you'd like.

They are all good. Go with Juvenile Product of the Working Class.

I feel FIVE LESSONS LEARNED is their best and a fine place to start, I get all giddy thinking about new Utters in my life.

I second Five Lessons Learned. Their best and most diverse album.

Yeah probably my fav too.

Wish I could hear the vocals better but it's still a cool song nonetheless.
