Big ups to Pigeons & Planes for introducing me to Swim Deep. They posted their song “King City” in their list of the best songs of 2012, so far.
Swim Deep are a bunch of lads from Birmingham, England who have penned “King City” what is likely to be on of the best debut singles you will hear all year, as P&P pointed out. The band years for Warpaint bassist Jerry Lee Lindberg as they rock out, clinging on to all the desires that make up our youthful minds. It’s brisk, catchy, and leaves you feeling care free. It makes you want to take a nice weekend out to the beach with your friends, leaving everything else behind. In this world, you’re the king.
The 7″ single is backed with b-side “Beach Justice”, and can be ordered from rough trade, or bought on iTunes.
Hit the jump to watch it’s official music video.
