There's A Big Star Outside

Description

If one thing is clear from the offset of the revealing fourth album "There’s A Big Star Outside...", it’s that Swim Deep is no longer the same band you’ve always known. In a way, Swim Deep's fourth album – filled with acoustic guitars and floral notes thanks to a Mellotron keyboard – has nothing to do with the flavor and evolution it embodies. But the album could only surface after these difficult years. It takes the youthful dream of their beginnings and the exciting experimentation of its follow-ups, leading them to a more assured space, greatly aided by the contribution of producer Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral), who has become a mentor throughout the journey. "There’s A Big Star Outside…" truly feels like a golden moment for the band. Over more than a decade in the industry, they have savored the highs and overcome the lows – but their fourth album feels like an album that exists outside of all that. It’s less about seeking the next levels of success and more about truly nailing their flag to the mast as artists, as adults, and as a band that has always been there for much more than just fleeting stages and early buzz.
