  Sonically experimental, with traditional songwriting at its core, Swampadelica is artfully establishing its own voice in today’s open ended music scene by fusing Americana, Haitian, Funk, Country Blues, Hip Hop and Soul. Swamp continues to move in broadening directions. Lead vocalist Nadïne LaFond’s native Haïtian Creole seamlessly wends its way in and out the lyrics, grooves and melodies. While this is present on Swamp’s latest CD, Sidewards it is most evident in recent live performances, where the band is more unified than ever before and as a result, reaching new levels of musicality and performance. Swampadelica’s sound has evolved into a valid blend of modern and vintage, earth and urban.
  
  Swampadelica's new album, "S'ac Passé?", was produced by Swampadelica and J. Kahrs, recorded at Trey Anastasio’s Vermont based studio, “The Barn” as well as the band members' home studios and was officially released on July 22.
  
  S'AC PASSÉ? is available through www.swampadelica.com, www.digstation.com and itunes. Visit www.myspace.com/swampadelica for upcoming tour dates.
