THE SWAY MACHINERY 

"Jeremiah Lockwood makes the ancient modern and the mythological real"
(The Village Voice)

The Sway Machinery is an all‐star collective of innovative visionaries led by guitarist
Jeremiah Lockwood of Balkan Beat Box. The Sway Machinery's line‐up includes
Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on drums, touring member of Arcade Fire Colin
Stetson on bass saxophone, and Stuart Bogie and Jordan McLean of the Antibalas
horn section on tenor saxophone and trumpet respectively.
For those who have seen The Sway Machinery in action, little explanation is needed.
The band's combination of rhythmic power and potent folklore takes no prisoners.
On stage the energy of submerged worlds is torn out into the light of day. And
indeed, the historical tradition of Cantorial music, which is the focus of the band's
work, is very much a lost world. The music of The Sway Machinery invites the
listener to become like children wandering in the forest, discovering something
mythic and wonderful.
