Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (sometimes spelled Blondertongueaudiobaton) is a 1993 album by Swirlies, released on CD, LP and cassette. It is possibly their best-known and most critically-praised work, with many critics citing it as a "lo-fi" answer to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. All Music Guide calls it "a mainstay of early-'90s indie music."
Some tracks from it appeared, in altered form, on the band's 1994 Brokedick Car EP.
The album is named after an obscure and expensive audio graphic equalizer, made from 1959-61. It was co-lead singer Seana Carmody's last full album with the group, before she formed the more synth-based Syrup USA.
