London-based fivesome Swimming Tapes have shared the video for "What's On Your Mind", another slice of upcoming EP Soft Sea Blue.
The new track joins up with "Queen's Parade" to preview the new offering from the (mostly) Bangor-born band.
"What's On Your Mind" is a gently drifting ode buoyed by big, reverb-soaked riffs and rippling percussion - it might sound effortlessly tranquil, but the lyrics point to a darker atmosphere brewing beneath the sunshine.
Adam Jaffrey (Gengahr, Leif Erikson) produces the four-track EP, which follows up debut short-player Souvenirs.
Tracklist:
- When We Can Hide
- Alison
- What's On Your Mind
- Queen's Parade
The Soft Sea Blue EP is out 15 September via Hand In Hive/B3SCI.
