Barry Can’t Swim has shared his new single ‘Sunsleeper’.
The London based producer is a ball of energy, perpetually working. Currently lining up some Stateside shows, the Edinburgh-born artist has also completed a subtle overhaul of his work.
Switching from Technicolour to Ninja Tune, his first release on the powerhouse label is the glorious, euphoric ‘Sunsleeper’.
A superb return, it rushes headlong on to the dancefloor, recalling Four Tet or Caribou at their most direct. A wave of optimism and energy, the vocal sample offers a deliriously infectious melody while the synths power it to heavenly levels.
“It’s been a while since I’ve written a tune like this, pure party energy,” he comments. “Stylistically it’s like the cousin of Blackpool Boulevard, but with a Spanish vocal sample layered over it to bring even more warmth and energy. I wanted this to be the first release of the year, it’s all the core emotions of my sound, but bigger. And that’s what this year is about.”
Tune in now.
