LISTEN & SHARE: Seth Swirsky - "Sunny Day"
Spotify / Apple Music 
"Ultra warm, upbeat, and power-pop-esque, as if Revolver era Beatles and early Guided by Voices stepped into the studio together."
Glide

"The gritty tune has a ’60s sensibility, with sweet harmonies and wailing guitar lines."
Indie88

"This upbeat power-pop song has unmistakable Beatlesque touches in the fuzzed up guitar breaks."
Americana UK

"'Sunny Day' is pure Swirsky — irresistible choruses with a dash of Flower Power sprinkled on top. And, just when you think you’ve got the song’s structure solved, he throws a sonic curveball."
Hollywood in Toto

"Seth Swirsky is one of those multi-faceted renaissance men with talent to spare: he sings with a gentle sweetness, he writes stunningly melodic and pretty tunes and he plays most every instrument with equal facility."
Goldmine Magazine

"This soft pop is awash in harmony and melody, a throwback to the sounds of more idealistic decades gone by. These eleven short musical delights seem to pass in the blink of an eye, leaving the hungry listener wanting far more."
Pop Matters

"This new album from Seth Swirsky can be summed up in one word: exquisite [...] Imagine all the best elements of what you love in pop: Brian Wilson during that period from Pet Sounds to Sunflower; The Beatles from Rubber Soul and Revolver and most of Todd Rundgren from Something/Anything to Hermit Of Mink Hollow, plus everything by Emmit Rhodes for good measure. I know that’s one hell of a build-up and you’re probably thinking 'no way, no how.' Well, it fucking is."
Pop Dose

"Circles and Squares, the first album released under his name, is a breathtaking ride through a musical imagination gloriously unable to rein itself in [..] It is a superbly produced affair that captures the often challenging structures of these songs with absolute clarity."
Skope Magazine

"'Trying To Keep It Simple' is a slice of pop perfection."
Music Existence

"Seth Swirsky delivers on his third studio album Circles and Squares, which is like a time machine. His voice is as smooth as silk, and he is able to paint a picture in the minds of his listeners, as he takes them back to simpler times. This record is highly eclectic, and it is extremely hard to select a favorite recording on there."
Digital Journal

"Swirsky has fashioned a marvelous mixture of beautifully understated lead and background vocals, perfectly placed horns and strings, and a host of intoxicating melodies that swing and sway."
Goldmine Magazine
Today, indie-pop singer-songwriter Seth Swirsky shares "I Don't Wanna Lose You," the second single off his forthcoming album, Songs From The Green Couch, due April 8 via Lolipop Records.

Of the track, Seth wrote:

"This song is pretty straightforward and something many of us have experienced: being broken up with someone you thought was your 'person' and realizing how much you still love them and wanting to try to work things out. I did that through this song to my 'person' and it struck the right chord (no pun intended) and we got back together."

Speaking on the album, Seth wrote the following:

We all have a ‘safe space’ — a place where we can go and escape from the world. The green couch in my art room in my house is such a space. It was there where most of the songs on this album were written, either on guitar or with lyrics—thus, the title, Songs From The Green Couch.

Rob Campanella, of Brian Jonestown Massacre — who engineered the album— introduced me to two guys in The Triptides: bassist Glenn Brigman and drummer Brendan Peleo-Lazar. The three of us (me on most guitars, pianos and mellotrons) became the core of the entire record. I sang all vocals and arranged the live strings. L.A. musicians, Kirk Hellie and Fernando Perdomo contributed their talents on some songs as well. But, as I said, the core was myself and the Triptides, which added a certain ‘toughness’ to my natural pop sensibilities.

The record was a two year process: I started writing and recording the record at the beginning of a serious new relationship I was having — it continued during a very painful breakup. Thus, the album oscillates between many hi’s and lo’s for me personally, which are reflected in the lyrics.
