Swim Deep have shared new single ‘Little Blue’.
The group’s 10 year career took another twist back in March, with Swim Deep sharing their excellent EP ‘Familiarise Yourself With Your Closest Exit’.
Taking another step forwards, Swim Deep have just broken cover with something new. Shaking off their past, it’s a song soaked in electronics, with new single ‘Little Blue’ pitched somewhere between The 1975’s slick digi-pop and Caribou’s euphoric festival sets.
Austin Williams delivers a sugar sweet vocal, yet it’s also tinged with self-awareness, and a quiet sense of belief. Produced by Dreamtrak (Foals), opens up yet more new ground for Swim Deep, and bodes well for what is to follow.
The singer comments…
“There’s a couple of themes running through ‘Little Blue’. The lyrics came out as I was writing the melody and I just kept them in. When I look back at it and what I was feeling at the time, it was most probably about me and my fiancé, with a more general moniker for myself and the band too. “Here now we’re going to make it” – is a reassurance that I’ve always needed. I’d like to think sometimes I don’t need it, but now more than ever I do.”
“I’m 30 now, so that youthful foolish hopefulness is slowly being replaced by a crappy realism, but I still think we’re going to headline Madison Square Garden one day so that self belief hasn’t totally abandoned me just yet. And when we do, I’ll be singing this song.”
Tune in now.
