With their new album There’s A Big Star Outside scheduled to land June 7th via Submarine Cat Records, the Birmingham outfit have unveiled the third single taken from the record titled ‘Very Heaven’.

‘Very Heaven’ is a moody, emotive, and grandly produced alternative gem. Aside from the gorgeous, lush arrangements, the song has a pacing build-up allowing the listener to truly take it in as a listening experience. There are string sections also incorporated in the song giving it a warming tone. Swim Deep have delivered an epic piece that is the pre-cursor to what will more than likely be a mountainous LP.

Regarding the track, Swim Deep’s Austin Williams mentioned:

“During one windy night in West Kirby, me and Bill (Ryder-Jones) sat in his local as the sideways rain stabbed our cheeks. We talked tipsily and candidly about everything from our Everton and Birmingham city woes, to the very reason we thought we made music in the first place, and opened up about what fated times dictated the melodies and lyrics that came out. We swapped ideas and voice notes and he modestly showed me one which was the chorus of ‘Very Heaven’, to which I instantly thought was the greatest thing I’d ever heard. I couldn’t wait to get back to my hotel so I could listen to it on repeat and pine about the song it could become. A song title taken from a William Wordsworth poem “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven!”. Recording this song with the band at ICP was the highlight of the time there. A huge moment for us as a band.”
