Edinburgh based trio swim school announce their self-titled debut album which will be released on 3 October. To accompany the news they have released new single ‘Alone With You’. Drummer Billy McMahon shares the following:
“We thought this was the perfect song to release to send a clear signal about the direction in which we’re travelling and it really feels like the band we’re supposed to be which is why we decided to call the album swim school….because it really is, for the first time….us”.
Lead singer and guitarist Alice Johnson continues:
“’Alone With You’ was recorded during our second big album session with Iain Berryman (Pale Waves, Beebadoobee, Sam Fender) and we recorded it almost without thinking, like everything coming together in perfect moment between us which is cool because it’s really a song about the safety of being in that company that allows you to truly be at peace.”
The band also announce their biggest tour to date, one which will take them to Ireland and Europe as headline artists for the first time.
