Sharon Van Etten joins King Hannah on new single, "Big Swimmer"
Liverpool duo King Hannah – AKA Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle – have announced their forthcoming album, Big Swimmer, and share the title track which features vocals from Sharon Van Etten.
“I remember sitting at my desk and the song just came pouring out and the big swimmer metaphor instantly felt right; to never give up on whatever it is you’re swimming hard towards," Merrick explains. "I like that it questions the listener too, that whenever you’re faced with something challenging, do you carry on swimming or do you jump out and grab our towel? There’s no right answer, but it feels empowering and necessary for the record.”
The record was produced by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Perfume Genius) and finds wide-screen inspiration from the band’s time on the road over the past few years across the US, with stints supporting Kurt Vile and Thurston Moore.
Tracklist:
- Big Swimmer
- New York, Let’s Do Nothing
- The Mattress
- Milk Boy (I Love You)
