さらに、3月24日、Sweltはライブ映像シリーズ『Dug It Out』の第二弾「Red Mountain」を公開しました。
この曲はバンドの2022年に発表された最新EP『Red Mountain EP』にタイトル曲として収録されています。スロウコアの代表格であるRed House Paintersの音楽性を彷彿とさせる内省的かつロマンチックなスロウコアとなっている。また、この曲で、バンドは美麗な弦楽器を交えつつ、曲の中盤では、ワイドでダイナミックな展開力を見せ、波打つような情感を引き出している。
3月上旬から3回にわたってライブ映像シリーズ『Dug It Out」を公開してきたイギリスのインディーロックバンドSweltは、いよいよ第三弾となる「Ready To Moon」を公開して、3月31日にシリーズを完結させました。この曲では、フロントマンのクリスがエレアコギターに持ち替え、前2曲よりもソフトで優しげなオルトフォークをライブで披露しています。また、この曲は既存のEPやシングルには収録されていない未発表曲となっています。

"Live, we try to convey an intense atmosphere by playing as dynamic and minimalistic as possible and locking into quiet, stirring melodies and rhythms." "DUG IT OUT" is a snapshot of these songs in their current form."

Additionally, on March 24, Swelt released "Red Mountain," the second installment in their "Dug It Out" live video series.
The song appears as the title track on the band's latest EP, the Red Mountain EP, released in 2022. It is an introspective and romantic slowcore that is reminiscent of the musical style of Red House Painters.In this song, the band also shows a wide, dynamic developmental ability in the middle of the song, with beautiful strings, bringing out the rippling emotions.
This is a work that defines the high potential of the Bristol band. Highly recommended for those who like the Manchester/London art-rock band Caroline.

After releasing the live video series "Dug It Out" three times since early March, British indie rock band Swelt finally released the third installment, "Ready To Moon," on March 31.
In this song, frontman Chris switches to an electric acoustic guitar and delivers a softer, gentler live slowcore than the previous two tracks. This song is also an unreleased track that has not been included on any existing EP or single. It will be interesting to see what the band does in the future.
