We say
Wild Swim's Echo excites throughout, finding the balance between innovation and listenability to pin point precision. The Oxford band have created a track which should see them elevated to the top of many alternative ones to watch lists. The luscious production is provided courtesy of the great Steve Osborne (New Order, Suede), capturing the band's sound and energy superbly. The school years spent honing their sound has started to payoff, with great press and radio starting to flow. Echo - released on a single deal with Believe - is Xfm Evening playlisted, with strong daytime support from 6Music. Bella Union's Simon Raymonde has already listed Wild Swim as one of his non Bella Union 'bands of the year', followed by The Guardian NBOTD stating they wouldn't "be surprised if the band ended up on a lot of ones to watch in 2013 lists" in a glowing review. The video for the single release was premiered on Noisey and Dummy capping a great start to the press campaign. Recent supports with the likes of Spector, Django Django and Egyptian Hip Hop are set to be followed by the five-piece headlining their own show in London this week.London Gig: 21 November, Bull & Gate NW5 // November 30, Club NME w/Life In Film @ KOKO NW1
