In the lead up to his highly anticipated new album ‘Loner’ due for release in July via Ninjatune, Barry Can’t Swim gifts us with not one but two impressive glimpses of what’s to come in the form of ‘About To Begin’ & ‘Cars Pass By Like Childhood Sweethearts’ that show contrasting levels of energy and colour across their durations.
‘About To Begin’ takes us down a more emphatic path, with a commanding presence held in the synths and percussion compiled to drive through plenty of power across our speakers that evokes plenty of euphoria. On the contrary, ‘Cars Pass By Like Childhood Sweethearts’ travels down a more mellowed and optimistic approach, with luscious pianos and pads creating a warmth in the soundscape for a laid-back listening experience for all to have.
