My name is Swan Meat, and the name comes from a poem, and I make “obnoxious” fast music with lots of violins and arps and breaks. But I come straight from the throat & cut my teeth in the „DC screamo“ scene that had a tiny yet impactful revival when I was a kid. As things “open up more” where I live in Germany — knock on wood — I’ve been playing techno parties, big sweaty raves, glassy eyes, etc, you step out of the club and your ears are going HSSSSS despite your plush earplugs and your chest kind of hurts all day the next day even tho you are & were completely sober — I missed gorging myself on hotel breakfasts — because of this, sometimes I need a break, a return to the saccharine bleeding heart ugly music I used to love so much.
