Swell formed in the summer of '87 in San Francisco. The album Too Many Days Without Thinking was started in their home studio in SF...but took a turn when the members headed for Los Angeles and then they ended up completing the recording in New York. "Environment is very important on Swell records", said Monte Vallier once, "that's why we couldn't finish the record in Los Angeles. That environment was wrong and we didn't know that until we went there. New York was awesome, it pulled it all together for us."
