about

When The Unswept first came to my attention in late 2013, they were a scrappy group of expatriate Brits with a knack for the sounds of yesterday: jangly guitars, exquisite vocal harmonies, snappy tambourines and a driving beat that made it impossible to sit still. What they lacked in polish, they made up for in catchiness and sheer exuberance.

Ryan, Liz and Charlie recorded two albums for Draco under the tutelage of myself and the late great Bic Livingston, where they supplemented their own original songs with an assortment of favored pop songs from years past. On this very special collection, both of those fabulous records are included in their entirety, sounding fresher than ever.

As a wise man once said, pop picking is a fast and furious business. Although the group's relationship with Draco was short-lived and sometimes fraught, I believe the timeless tunes contained within this anthology speak to the strength of our collaboration.

-- Bert Fern, President, Draco Records, a division of Global Chemical Mfg.
