If, light years from now, people ever want a snapshot of youth and young manhood in 2010, they could look no further than Swanton Bombs, who are set to release the single “Viktoria” and the gloriously titled new album “Mumbo Jumbo and Murder” in February. For to listen to their music is to experience vicariously the reckless thrills and irrepressible energy of a new generation, distilled to its rawest, untainted, unvarnished essence.
