It’s the songs. A lot of indie bands these days are filtering ’90s alt-rock inspo through the lens of Alex G-era Bandcamp, but Swapmeet have the tunes to set them apart from the pack. The Adelaide quartet’s 24-year-old members share songwriting duties and often switch instruments, running the gamut from whispery beauty to explosive abrasion without ever losing the identity they’ve honed since first joining forces as teens. After signing with the reliably great Los Angeles indie label Winspear, they’ve spent half a year rolling out their new debut album “Mount Zero”, and each subsequent single has further affirmed their mastery of the form.
“I Know!” is the first track from Swapmeet’s forthcoming album ‘Mount Zero’ out July 17th, 2026 via Winspear.
“Oxalis” is a collection of songs written by Swapmeet over the span of 3 years. The band’s debut EP highlights the emotions of the band as individuals and as a group since forming in early 2021. The five songs delve into feelings of hopelessness, fear, love, content, and grief. “Oxalis” has been an ever-changing assembly of songs whittled down from Swapmeets‘ live set, best representing where the band is currently at and where they started. All songs were recorded and mixed by the members of Swapmeet.
