‘Recoil’ doesn’t mess about, in fact it gets right to it delivering sharp guitar lines, rumbling percussion and a lead performance that reminded me of Mark E. Smith from the Fall. And I can see how Swan Dry will fit right into the neo-punk movement because they look back on what has gone on before (plenty New Order here) before thrusting themselves forward in a manner that might not be quite rampaging but there is definitely a fire raging in their soul all the same. This is Swan Dry’s debut single and what a marker it has set. KH
