Swimming Tapes pay tribute to hometown memories on "Queen's Parade"
Swimming Tapes have shared deliciously delirious new single "Queen's Parade" ahead of their performance at our Great Escape showcase next week.
Adam Jaffrey (Gengahr, Leif Erikson) produces the dizzying track, which'll appear on a new EP due later this year.
"'Queen's Parade’ is a pleading note about the state of a beloved seafront street in our home town of Bangor, Northern Ireland," say the band of the track. "Three of us grew up here and there was a sense you were watching something that seemed very beautiful slowly fade into nothing. Fond memories tainted by complete neglect whilst always hoping it will return to its former glory when it was full of life, or so it seemed when we were in our youth."
They'll play our showcase at The Great Escape in Brighton later this month with rapidly rising popstar Sigrid, Grimes collaborator Aristophanes, and more. Swimming Tapes are also set to support Shout Out Louds in London and play city-hopping fest Dot To Dot.
The group have also announced a new London date at The Lexington on 20 September.
