There's less than a month to go before Swervedriver issue their long-awaited reunion LP, I Wasn't Born to Lose You, but fans jonesing for some shoegazing sounds right now can sample another sneak peek from the set. The UK crew's "Autodidact" is streaming online right now.
While fuzzed-out guitar chords are aplenty on the single, a crystalline sparkle of intricate picking patterns is what really steals the show. Above it all are lyrics that serenely detail the "dream of what might be." You'll find the hypnotic slice of ear-candy down below.
I Wasn't Born to Lose You lands March 3 through Cobraside. You'll find an updated tour schedule, which sadly doesn't hit Canada, down below.
