If one thing is clear from the offset of revelatory fourth album ‘There’s A Big Star Outside…’, it’s that Swim Deep is no longer the same band you’ve always known.
After a rollercoaster of personal reckonings and extreme professional highs and lows, the quintet – vocalist Austin ‘Ozzy’ Williams, bassist Cavan McCarthy, keyboardist James Balmont, guitarist Robbie Wood and drummer Thomas Fiquet – emerge in 2024 having navigated a creative rebirth, following close collaboration with beloved solo artist and producer Bill Ryder-Jones.
With their most raw, affective and mature work to date, they now stand on the precipice of something familiar but wholly new: a Swim Deep record that steps into the confident, experienced territory that you just can’t claim when you’re a wide-eyed twenty-something.
