At the conclusion of our most recent Artist of the Month Poll I found myself completely transfixed watching a video from the enchanting victor, Swansea, for their track “No Blame”. The camera circles through a beautiful building, stopping upon the three band member playing a song that is simultaneously eerie and comforting with a unique instrumentation. These qualities hold true throughout their catalog of compositions as endearing vocals outline songs that are equal parts novel and familiar. I can keep describing their entrancing style to you, but a unique sound is worth thousands of words and you have the luxury of clicking the banner at the top of the site to listen for yourself. Congratulations to the Deli Portland’s new Artist of the Month, Swansea, we’re excited to share your music! -Ben Toledo
