Swimming Tapes emerge with the shimmeringly elegant guitar ditty debut “Souvenirs”
There’s something wonderfully elegant about Swimming Tapes’ debut outing. “Souvenirs” showcases an assured, shimmering dream-pop sound from the newcomers reminiscent of Real Estate and Wild Nothing.
Very good company then, but if this first effort is anything to go by the London five piece - Robbie Reid, Jason Hawthorne, Louis Price, Paddy Conn, Andrew Evans - wholly deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as these genre definers.
Woozy, dream-like guitars reverberate and twinkle throughout creating a beautifully calming, bucolic atmosphere while languid vocal work, splashing drums and a brilliantly bumbling bass line keep the action floating along with minimum fuss.
Let Swimming Tapes take you on a kaleidoscopic, sun-kissed journey below; this is one souvenir well-worth holding on to.
