Swapmeet are releasing their new album Mount Zero on July 17 via Winspear (The Convenience, Teethe, Wishy). Ahead of the album’s arrival, the Australian band are sharing “Bonny.” The track follows their previous singles “I Know!,” “Sand,” “2 C U,” and “Halfway”. The band will be touring behind Mount Zero, playing shows in London and Paris, alongside extended tours in the US, UK and Europe. The band includes Venus O’Broin, Maxwell Elphick, Jack Medlyn, and Josh Doherty; all vocalists, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists.

Says the band: “Mount Zero is a place you pass but never go,” says Elphick. “It became a symbol for people we’d see but never meet. When you’re always in a different city and trying new things, there are a lot of experiences you observe but never get to fully explore.”

Swapmeet have been playing together since their last year of high school in 2020. Elphick and Doherty were in a jangle-pop band together first; O’Broin took photos of the band and realized they lived around the corner from each other. Medlyn met O’Broin at a party on their very last day of high school, when all the graduating classes in the neighborhood celebrated together at the top of a local hill. Soon, all four of them started jamming together in Elphick’s basement, and cut their teeth performing at a downtown pub called the Metro. The first time they ever played outside of Adelaide, they drove 15 hours across New South Wales to Wollongong, leading a convoy of their friends.

“Half the crowd were friends that we’d brought from Adelaide,” says Elphick. “We were like, this is great, we’ve got a good crowd. All our friends were there.”

As soon as they started playing together, Swapmeet wrote songs at a rapid clip. “We had so much music all of the time. I feel like we played our first gig with a whole album done,” says O’Broin.

“Every gig we were playing a new song. Maxwell, Jack, and I were all individually writing a lot. Whenever we would practice, we would show each other the new songs we were working on, and then instead of practicing, we would finish the songs and play them at the gig.”
