Premiere: Swimming

Neil Lord (of Niall & Voyageurs et al.) sent me this track from his new project, Swimming, with Jared Hennessey (pictured above) and Brian Kupillas of Where's Lawrence?. Really great stuff, kinda sounds like Robin Pecknold singing for Real Estate, only with more sinister undertones than that pairing would imply. Swimming's album will be out "in the next few days," according to Neil, and the track below, "Summer Turtleneck," is apparently about "a guy coming to our bassist's door in Houston and asking, 'Do you wanna fool around?'" It's also going to be featured on the forthcoming Art Amiss 13 compilation.

Swimming will also be playing at the final show at the Brick House, along with Cats Purring denizens FLIGHT and Fort Smith surf-punkers Taifas. If you're not super stoked about this show already, you should be.
