Back in the early to mid 1990s the Swirlies would have been considered one of the better-known US shoegaze bands, although listening to them now the shoegaze element of their sound seems pretty incidental. I think they were basically an indiepop band who happened to like fuzzy guitars.
I was sort of ambivalent about them back then, always thinking they were decent enough but a bit overrated, but I owned their records like every other good shoegaze/indiepopper did and I really enjoy them now for their nostalgic value. But I still don't think they were great.
This was their first single, from 1992.
