SWR - Close the Dam

New solo material from Shaun Ryder. Sounding a lot fresher than the terrifying, yet compelling, 2003 drug fuelled self indulgence that was Amateur Night in the Big Top, SWR (as he's rebranded himself) releases two quality tunes.

Close the Dam is a solid club track unlike anything Ryder's penned before, potentially a glimpse of any future Mondays/Grape releases. Electric Scales is a proper glorious vintage Happy Mondays sound straight from the Squirrel and G Man heydays. And as he sings in the latter song, never mind the quality, feel the weight. Well, you get both for your buck with these two quality tracks.

That's double, double good.
