ROYAL SWAN (HASSLE RECORDS)
The endlessly mercurial, maverick Bristolian quartet PHOXJAW released their debut full-length record, Royal Swan, in July 2020 via Hassle Records.
Born from a cabin-fevered recording experience at Devil's Bridge in Wales, Royal Swan harks back to a fantastical medieval England.
Without being overtly political, Royal Swan also details the tension inherent in modern day Great Britain - the sense of isolation and resentment the United Kingdom has fostered versus trying to retain a sense of pride in one's own country.
