Edinburgh-born producer Barry Can’t Swim has announced his forthcoming album, Loner, alongside the release of new single, "Different".

"If my first album was a collage of all the music I loved and was inspired by growing up, then this album is the most authentic expression I could offer of myself and my life over the past year," Barry explains. The album announcement arrives after a week of cryptic teasing, including a mysterious billboard in Dalston and the release of new single, “The Person You’d Like To Be”.

Loner is set to follow Barry’s acclaimed debut, When Will We Land?, released October 2023 and shortlisted for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize alongside the likes of Charli XCX, Beth Gibbons, English Teacher, Ghetts and The Last Dinner Party.

Tracklist:

  1. The Person You’d Like To Be
  2. Different
  3. Kimpton (with O’Flynn)
  4. All My Friends
  5. About To Begin
  6. Still Riding
  7. Cars Pass By Like Childhood Sweethearts
  8. Machine Noise For A Quiet Daydream (feat. Séamus)
  9. Like It’s Part Of The Dance
  10. Childhood
  11. Marriage
  12. Wandering Mt. Moon

Loner will be released on 11 July via Ninja Tune, and is available to pre-order via barrycantswim.com.
