Matthew Dowling is a long time supporting musician from DC indie rock bands like The Effects, Deleted Scenes and Paperhaus. His solo project Swoll creates dreamy synthpop that’s lower on the BPM and higher on the bass and electronics. “Unwound”, Swoll’s debut music video, is the title track from his sophomore album that dropped in September on Blight Records. Director Drew Hagelin presents a flickery view of Dowling floating through retro sci-fi technology and neon shapes. Swoll’s long awaited DC album release show hits Comet Ping Pong on Thursday November 14th with support from label mates Luna Honey and Baltimore’s Abdu Ali.
