Miami-based alt-rock outfit Swivvel spent the latter half of 2023 piecing together a music video for its new track “Passerby,” made up of clips from the band’s travels across the country, captured entirely on Super 8 video. The three-minute tune—filled with instrumentation somewhat reminiscent of mid-career Vampire Weekend—is the title track to Swivvel’s latest three-track EP.

“Being as real as possible, my self esteem hasn’t been all it used to be,” frontman Jonathan Solis wrote in a statement last fall. “These songs represent what I felt was myself at a kind of full-strength.”

Tampa’s own Kick Veronica is also on this bill along with trippy indie-rock band Domino Pink and Magic City art-rock outfit Grim Hill.

There’s no cover tto see Swivvel play the backyard at Shuffle in Tampa on Saturday, Jan. 6.
