Swim Deep have shared the video for their latest track ‘First Song’. The track is taken from the group’s forthcoming album ‘There’s A Big Star Outside’, released on 7th June via Submarine Cat Records. The album has been produced by Bill Ryder-Jones.
On the track frontman Austin Williams says –
“This song came about after Cavan got my 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 baseline made itself. I wanted a driving force of a song that meant business. 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.”
