“The title track opens with a captivating guitar riff as Swetman spins tales of “wonder and discovery.” The vocalist explores the highs and lows of her range with ease, giving Florence + The Machine a run for its money.”

Palomino Darling. A blues-rock duo with Katie Swetman on vocals/guitars and Sam Anselmo, who plays drums, guitars and keyboards — at the same time. Watching the group perform is like seeing Animal from the Muppets playing along with theme song from season one of "True Detective." In short, it's equally mysterious, beautiful and awe-inspiring. The group is working on its debut release. facebook.com/palominodarling.  

Providing the score for the film is Baton Rouge's own Palomino Darling. The duo, comprised of Katie Swetman and Sam Anselmo, describes their sound as "rock, the heartbreaking kind." You can hear Palomino Darling's 2015 track, "Old and Lost River," on YouTube here.

"I wanted to share my songs," Swetman said. "I just never had someone who I trusted and respected so well who pulled that out of me. I was up for the challenge, but I was like, 'This is insane.' Even though it was terrifying, there was something great about it. You do get hooked. That kept pushing me to write."

“We’re rock, but the heartbreaking kind,” Swetman says. “One of the biggest teachers in my life has been relationships—connecting with people and disconnecting from people. Love has been the greatest thing I’ve learned from. [Our] songs aren’t lighthearted and poppy. They’re about real things.”
