Swim Deep are set to drop their new album There’s A Big Star Outside on June 7th via Submarine Cat Records. To warm fans up, the group have shared their new single ‘First Song’.
Produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, ‘First Song’ is gorgeous and ethereal dream pop meets indie bit that is easing and musically blissful. There are massive build ups throughout the song, giving it a well balanced bite and punch.
Swim Deep have also shared accompanying visuals to ‘First Song’. You can check it out down at the bottom.
Touching on the track Swim Deep’s Austin Williams mentioned:
“This song came about after Cavan got my heavy into Mogwai, and I got obsessed with this arpeggiated loop I had made. It’s one of those songs that just came crashing in and the baseline made itself. I wanted a driving force of a song that meant business. The lyrics are centred around my childhood dream to live a suburban life with two parents, two cars, a cat, a ‘nuclear’ family. However then reflecting that actually what I had was the making of me, and it was actually pretty cool. It offered me raw love, freedom, escapism, and i wouldn’t change it for all the Renault Scenics a big fancy summer holidays in the world.”
