SWIM DEEP – SINGLE REVIEW

Swim Deep – Sail Away, Say Goodbye 
Swim Deep - Sail Away, Say Goodbye

Release Date: Out Now

Praise be! The wonderful Swim Deep are back with new single ‘Sail Away, Say Goodbye’ and having genuinely thought I’d lost them this is like finding your favourite shoes buried at the back of the wardrobe when you’d long given up hope. The single opens with the kind of sweeping, synthetic opulence that you might expect from Duran Duran but is soon matched with more down-to-earth vocals that mirror the likes of contemporaries Foals or the Maccabees. With the Midlands quintet huddled in a directionless boat (a metaphor for Britain right now?), this track brings the kind of uplifting and optimistic energy of the late 80s and early 90s and I fully expect this to be the euphoric peak of the band’s live set as they head out on tour this Autumn and right on in to Festival Season 2020. Good to have you back boys.
