Swanning, “Sleep My Pretties” (Salinas Records)
Cynthia Ann Schemmer might be best known for her involvement in Philadelphia indie-pop project Radiator Hospital, but it’s not her only extracurricular: She’s also an editor at She Shreds magazine, and singer and lead guitarist of the recently formed pop-punk project Swanning. “Sleep My Pretties,” from their forthcoming Drawing Down the Moon EP, presents some tough subject matter (Schemmer says it’s about grieving her deceased mother), but her impossibly buoyant vocals keep the sunny-sounding track afloat.
New project from Cynthia Schemmer, who has played guitar for Radiator Hospital, some of whose members also played on this recording. l’m looking forward to this Philadelphia group’s 12″ EP due in May of 2016 on great label Salinas Records.
