Who are we?

Hey there! We’re Swamp Money, a Barcelona-based neo soul band formed in 2018. Our music fuses shameless funk and smooth soul with a touch of wonky hip-hop influences as we submerge you in swampy grooves and reflective moods.

Help us fund our second album - Bought & Sold

We’re almost at the point of releasing our second album, Bought & Sold, and we’re looking to raise funds to cover production costs and put this record where it belongs… on vinyl. But before we go into the how, we’d like to tell you a bit about the why…

We released our self-titled debut album on digital platforms in 2020. Given the nature of the last few years, we’ve only had a handful of opportunities to perform it live. Nonetheless, we’ve been really encouraged by the response it’s received. Check out the 1st Swamp Money album here.

The Bought & Sold story

In 2021, we started working on album #2. We added a few new members to the band and went from a 3-piece to a 7-piece project, with musicians from Catalunya, Venezuela, the UK, and Malta. After a few weekly sessions in Barcelona practice rooms and around each other’s swamps, Bought and Sold started to take shape.

The 12 songs that make up Bought & Sold are the result of friendships (old and new), a love of great music, and a truly collaborative work environment. Every single member of our band poured a big part of themselves into this record. We’ve had the best time writing, recording, and producing this album and we can’t wait to share the final product with you.

Why crowdfunding?

If we’re going to make this work, we need your support. Cutting a vinyl record is something the band has wanted to do for ages, but it comes at a hefty cost. A lot of time and money has already gone into (and is still going into) creating this album, from the recording, mixing, and mastering to the amazing album art that was designed just for us… In short, making an album is expensive!

How much do we need?

In order to get Bought & Sold out there, we’re hoping to raise €3,000. This includes:
