Little Storping in the Swuff is an alternative pop music collective from Rochester, England. Named after a fictional town from an episode of the cult 1960s British TV spy series, The Avengers, Little Storping in the Swuff was unveiled in 2023 as the new music project for Rochester based songwriter David Goggin. Goggin was previously the lead singer and songwriter in Brigadier Ambrose and London band Vlks. Little Storping In The Swuff is the strange English town where Goggin’s previous artistic outputs appear to meet.
Current Activity
The debut album Baroque Anxieties was released on 29 March 2024.[1] It was recorded and co-produced with Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios in Kent, Goggin performing most of the instruments himself with a supporting cast of friends on backing vocals, violin, cello and trumpet duties. The album was featured in The Guardian's culture recommendations of the week, described as 'brilliantly out of step with modern life'[2]. Shindig! magazine declared the record as 'comprehensively Anglified in every possible way...the album's kaleidoscopic take on Anglo DIY pop-psych whimsy and extravagant musicality are evident everywhere you care to look'.[3]. In a 4 out of 5 review of the album, Bearded Magazine declared it a 'location well worth visiting', adding that 'the LP is village's worth of evocative kitchen sink baroque pop with much for fans of early period Pink Floyd and Village Green-era Kinks to savour'[4]. The tracks A Little Bit Bored, Prickly David and Oh God, What Now? received radio airplay from across the BBC, in particular on BBC 6 Music, on which the band performed a live session[5] for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe.
Live performances to support the release of the album have seen the band hanging laundry on stage, performing with brown paper bags on heads, foot-operated puppet shows. Shindig! magazine declared a performance in London as 'a fantastic gig', referencing 'echoes of Syd and Modern Life Is Rubbish[6].
