Orange Vinyl Vinyl Records Orange Vinyl Swim Deep Birmingham hailing quintet Swim Deep announces their fifth studio album Hum, due June 19th via Submarine Cat Records. They also share first single Pieces Of You a defiant cut of alternative rock roaring with clouds of distortion that bring a bite and rawness to its chiming melodies.Fresh and inspired from a soldout tour across Thailand and China in December, and with an unexpected lineup change Hum is the work of a group rejuvenated, driven by their innate passion for music even when the going gets tough and sounding more confident than ever, whilst juggling the challenges of maintaining a grassroots indie band on their fifth album.Speaking on the track, lead singer Austin Ozzy Williams adds I had found a new writing partner at the fulltime bar job there stood J.J. Buchanan by the barrels of beer kegs we were hauling. A sharp songwriter and a soaring guitarist, who brought something fresh to this song and the whole sonic landscape that would shape Hum.Thematically, Hum continues the life journey of Theres A Big Star Outside, which captured a transformational period for Williams preparing for the arrival of his first child, but also the departure of his wifes father. The songs on Hum detail the aftermath of that spell, exploring loss, family and our responsibilities to those we build a life with. Ive now got someone to inspire, he explains. Its like,Yeah, your dad works at a bar to make rent, but this is what he actually does, this is what the dream is, and well all live on it together. Thats the ethos on this album.With Hum, Swim Deep turn struggle into momentum and personal upheaval into collective uplift. Its the bands heaviest, most adventurous, and most uplifting album in years and the sound of a band still chasing the dream with conviction, but now with something deeper at stake.
