Swallowtail is an upcoming collaborative studio album by Australian drummer Jim White and American guitarist Marisa Anderson, set for release on May 10, 2024, by Thrill Jockey. It is Anderson and White's second collaborative album together, after The Quickening in 2020. The album was recorded in Australia with engineer Nick Huggins. It was preceded by one single.
Recording and release[edit]
Anderson and White recorded with Nick Huggins in June 2022 at Resting Bell Studio in Point Lonsdale, a coastal town in Victoria, Australia.[1][2] On recording in Point Lonsdale, Anderson said "It was a big change of vibe and scenery, to be out of the city and on the coast with no distraction and to be working with an engineer (and avid surfer) who is attuned to the cycles of tides and sunrises and sunsets and ocean rhythms. I think all of that got into the music as we were making it."[1]
The album was announced on March 5, 2024, with a release date set for May 10 by Thrill Jockey.[1][3] With the announcement, they released the lead single, "Bitterroot Valley Suite I: Water", the first movement of a three-part suite.[1][3] KLOF Magazine's Alex Gallacher called the song "an alluring and organic-sounding piece."[3] The duo also announced tour dates for the United States, some co-headlining with Canadian folk musician Myriam Gendron.[3]
