It's nearly impossible to mention the name Adam Franklin without simultaneously mentioning the words "Swervedriver" and "shoegaze" in the same breath. As singer/guitarist for '90s UK shoegaze legends Swervedriver, Adam has made a lasting mark upon countless new bands trying to build upon the foundations laid during this era. His signature guitar playing and vocals come through strong on the album, while influences from psychedelic heroes Syd Barrett and Arthur Lee, or folk legend Nick Drake, are hinted at throughout. Fans of Adam and Swervedriver have been waiting for a guitar driven record for years. Bolts of Melody is the answer to their prayers!
