Swimming

Live at Cafe.Bar.Contemporary

25 Nov 2011

Free, from 8pm

Nottingham's Swimming host a special launch night for their second album, ‘Ecstatics International’. The album is due to be released on November 7th via Tummy Touch Records (Tom Vek, Groove Armada). As befits their name, Swimming are a fluid proposition. Moving seamlessly between genres, moods and textures, their strange but affecting sound is crafted with genuine pop instincts as the starting point. The resulting set of songs, though hard to pigeonhole, feel truly unique. Their sound has seen them share tours and stages with acts as diverse as Killing Joke, Carl Barat and Chairlft. 2011 has seen the band be chosen for the first single release on NewYork's influential EVR Records, across the board spot-plays on mainstream radio and their first UK headline tour. Their current single ‘Neutron Wireless Crystal’ has picked up where its predecessor left off, but expands the band’s kaleidoscopic horizons once more, this is an imaginative blend of swirling synths, psychedelic rock, drum machines and intense, melodic pop.
