About

Undressmerobot.com(USA):
'Coming out of nowhere from Norway, these suckers made one of the best and most eclectic indie rock albums i've heard in a long while. Swing Swing is a journey, not just a CD. Syme's music is a breath of fresh air in a world where almost all music is easily jammed into fixed genres. I live for this kind of music, and this album easily tops my 2005 list.' - Graded A+ & 1 album of 2005

Aftenposten:
'A varied album and a great surprise (...) One of the best arguments to stop categorizing music I have heard in a long time' 5/6

Bergens Avisen:
'Swing Swing is an exceptionally strong and varied debut album, displaying their talent for both dreamy pop and explosive noise rock.' 5/6

Ballade.no (Øyvind Holen):
Ballade.no (Bjørn Hammershaug):
'Good oldfashioned indie is back for sure. Here in Norway Serena Maneesh lead the pack, but also Bergen group Syme impressed with the ambitious genre-crushing Swing Swing...The years best debuting band?'

Hugin: 'If you like Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Radiohead and Bjørk, you should get Swing Swing. Syme mix the best of all these bands into an album which is best described as no less than a small treasure without a single blemish.' 6/6

Bergens Tidende: 'Syme are unafraid and dare to be different. Honest and a little schizophrenic'

Hitfactory: 'Beautiful, beautiful harmonies and driving grooves that capture and hypnotise you. Syme can quickly become a cult band of international size. This is balsam for stressed souls.'

Rogalands Avis (Stavanger): 'Lovely Syme! This is mandatory listening.'

Nesteklikk.no: 'Funky rhythms and a great concept. A playful, liberating and experimental album.' 5/6

Impattosonoro.it (Italy): 'an expansion of post-rock between Mogwai, Explosions in the sky and Under Byen, with influences from electronic godfathers Autechre and Aphex Twin.'

Blokneronline.net (Serbia): 'In their own way Syme manage to combine styles from both psychedelia, electro and indie.' 8.5/10
