Swim Deep Unveils ‘First Song’ Off Upcoming Album ‘There’s A Big Star Outside’

Swim Deep drops their latest single ‘First Song’ from their eagerly awaited album ‘There’s A Big Star Outside’, set to release on June 7th through Submarine Cat Records. The album, a collaboration with the acclaimed Bill Ryder-Jones, showcases a mature, raw, and deeply personal sound.

‘First Song’ is a seamless blend of lush shoegaze and captivating melodies, showcasing Austin Williams’ most compelling vocal performance yet. Following the poignant ‘How Many Love Songs Have Died In Vegas?’, this track is a testament to Swim Deep’s creative resurgence and sets the stage for their much-anticipated new album.

Frontman Austin Williams reveals, “‘First Song’ was inspired by my newfound obsession with Mogwai, leading to a song that demanded to be written, centered around my childhood dream of a ‘nuclear’ family. It’s a reflection on the unconventional yet enriching upbringing I had.”

‘There’s A Big Star Outside’ marks a pivotal moment in Swim Deep’s journey, offering a sound rich in experience and depth. The album is a creative leap, produced in collaboration with Bill Ryder-Jones, and can be pre-ordered now.
