SWL #8: Swamp Meat, "Ball of Dirt"

When he's not engineering, mixing, or designing album artwork for his friends as Halfshell Records, Daniel Onufer is busy recording bluesy psych-pop as part of Seattle trio Swamp Meat. On 2012's Tomorrow, Onufer and band-mates Laura Seniow and Geoff Traeger demonstrate their knack for generating songs with a surprisingly strong and unassuming pop sensibility. "Ball of Dirt" is my favorite off that record at the moment; I've been listening to this song on repeat for the last few days and I can't get over it's lovely, fuzzy melody and unkempt vocals. Catch Swamp Meat at Heartland on the 29th (tomorrow night) along with Mega Bog and Bad Weather California.
