Chauffeur et Parlak — The Swamp

The instrumental duo Chauffeur et Parlak (ZH/AG) returns with The Swamp, their third album in as many years. Following Homemade Pickles (2023) and In Chromatic Tension (2024), this new release rounds off the trilogy with another set of twelve tracks. Once again, the two multi-instrumentalists draw from their familiar palette — but The Swamp also marks a clear return to their roots: rawer garage riffs, more guitars, more drums than on the previous records. Production duties were once again handled by Dave Hofmann, who also brought the first two albums to completion.
