Swim Deep present new single, "First Song"

"This song came about after Cavan got me 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 bassline made itself. I wanted a driving force of a song that meant business," says vocalist Austin Williams.

"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."

Swim Deep have announced their first new live dates of the year alongside the single and album. The band kick off the tour in Manchester, and will play eleven dates across the UK, including shows in Nottingham, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, and London.
