Swiftumz - Don't Trip

Vinyl LP pressing. The problem with imaginary combinations is that many of them actually already exist. Don't Trip sounds like a collaboration between Nick Nicely and Eric Hysteric, over which Tony Wilson and Alan McGee would get into a bidding war. Chris McVicker, AKA Swiftumz, sambas through '80s Factory singles, afternoon hits of MDMA on the beach, Ibiza before techno, Glaswegian nonchalance, Stolen Kisses and tripping at the Haçienda (the San Francisco one; Manchester's closed down years ago). Seriously, it's all present but like any other great interpreter of Britain's finest musical traditions, McVicker is just a guy from near Mac Dre's hometown in Northern California. Like the best Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk commercial ever, Don't Trip is your summer jam.
