Tweet Review: The Swimmers
The Swimmers People Are Soft (Mad Dragon Records, Nov. 3rd)
"Shelter" A full mixture of flavors here... New Order vs. CYHSY vs. Talking Heads... Exciting Start!
"A Hundred Hearts" I don't know if it is the pink cover or not, but this feels a lot like happy bubble gum pop.
"Drug Party" Now I understand why this album makes me smile, it's a pych-out journey through gritty to well-produced.
"What This World Is Coming To" Unexpectedly beat heavy... love the synths... this one has to be the single.
"Give Me The Sun" With each track the level of funk builds... I'm now dancing in the car.
"Save Me (From The Brightness)" I thought you wanted the sun? This is an homage to The Cars all the way.
"Nervous Wreck" Keeping it slow but interesting.
"To The Bells" Sounds like simple indie rock, but there are so many layers and textures.
"Dresses Don't Fit" This is E meets The Shins meet Of Montreal... despite the title this really does seem to fit.
"Anything Together" Again with soft synths over driving beats... lovely work.
"Try To Settle In" I've been trying to settle in my whole life but I think I'll keep swimming.
