Swirlies

Swirlies is an American indie rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1990. Since their first records in the early 1990s, the band has released studio and home recordings that blend shoegaze and twee pop with electronica and lo-fi music. The band released five studio albums between 1993 and 2003. The band have since assembled to tour occasionally with a roster of musicians led by founding guitarist/songwriter Damon Tutunjian.
==Links to Peel==
Peel first played the band's music in 1992 and would play further material from the group, including a session in 1994. By the time the group released their fourth album, 'Strictly East Coast Sneaky Flute Music ', in 1998, Peel had lost interest in their songs on his programmes.
