On Swayed, I:SCINTILLA's brand new studio record, the Chicago-based electronic rock quintet poses several questions - and attempts just as many answers. Alongside charismatic frontwoman Brittany Bindrim, guitarist Jim Cookas, and drummer Vince Grech (SISTER MACHINE GUN, STROMKERN), joining I:SCINTILLA's line-up is bassist Dean Dunakin and guitarist Myles Arwine. Recorded and produced by Greg Panciera (Sylvia Massy, Alessandro Cortini of NINE INCH NAILS, Dave Bianco) over the course of the past 2 years, marks the first new music from I:SCINTILLA in four years and their first full length studio record since 2010. Brittany also states ...Our brief hiatus really recharged us creatively. Alongside this renewed passion and our evolution; the political climate, a deeper dive into the world of fine art, introspection, and truly immersing ourselves into the songwriting process has truly shaped this collection of songs and has remolded where we are as a band. With the recent first video/single Carmena Saturna, I:SCINTILLA not only gave us a first glimpse into this much anticipated new album, but also proved to us once again that only they were able to release such catchy mind-infecting vocal lines ever! A stunning song mixing biting guitar riffs with schizophrenic vocals that go from powerful to mellow to creepy before the entire song deconstructs.
