Like Swimming formed in late 2012 with Claes Carlstrom on vocals and guitar, Ida Hedene on vocals and keys and Petter Wesslander on drums. The three piece band from Sweden forms a blend of whimsical jouissance in rhythm and melodies and heart breaking sincerness in lyrics and frustration that gives the music an interesting contrast.
Like Swimming is coming back to play in London 13 of March on Underbelly in London. On stage the same night is Natahssia Divine, Forthnight in Florida, Boy Names, Turn Back To Spring.
We have been listening to A Room of Her Own:
An peculiarly infectious and buzzing beat vectors us towards some plinky-plonky keys and a male vocal that follows along like a lamb. This vocal is as clean as a sheet and billows like a sail in the breeze.
Then the song becomes a bit bustier with that charming & glistening female voice that gurgles like a fresh spring of hope.
Charming, slightly guileless, indie-pop – full of youthful joie de vivre and fairground high-spirits.
