release the bats #7 SWANN DANGER 10" Swann Danger is an Oakland, California based band that includes Andy Zevallos on bass, samples, and drum machine and Cynthia Mansourian on guitars and vocals. This 5 song debut was recorded with Dan Rathbun at Polymorph in Oakland (Dead And Gone, Heart Of Snow, His Hero Is Gone, The Vanishing, The Phantom Limbs). Both Cynthia and Andy were members of the band Heart Of Snow, which put out an ep on GSL before breaking up in early 2002. Swann Danger is doing pretty much the same thing, just better! Slow, dark and claustrophobic songs, somewhat reminiscent of bands like Xmal Deutschland and mid era Siouxsie And The Banshees. 5 songs in about 24 minutes. Död och dekadens!

REVIEWS! mashnote deathrock erbadellastrega kindamuzik obskure starvox zookeeper online Another release that got very delayed for various reasons. In many ways one of the most difficult releases in the RTB catalog. Those 5 songs are just one long session of stripped down coldness. No fun, no joy, no hope. Monotonous and bleak. Not for everyone but somewhere i thought that more of the regular RTB followers would dare to give this awesome ep a chance... Beautiful white 10", glossy laminated covers and a nice double sided black/white insert. Im very, very fond of this release. - Matthias Andersson, September 2006
