I posted a #SwellMaps song in yesterday's #EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge. Lo and behold, @theguardian.com featured this piece on the band's history & new record 'C21', out tomorrow (3/13)! Good read....

Great to see this article about my friend #JoweHead who I first met at art school. We both lived in Hackney and I sometimes hung out with the band (and had a brief relationship with their brilliant drummer, Epic)
Hope the new album does really well!

Finding Midget Submarine running in my mind, I was thinking about #SwellMaps a couple of days ago. And lo, they're back. #Zeitgeist
