If there is one thing that becomes clear from the outset of the revealing fourth album ‘There’s A Big Star Outside…’, it is that Swim Deep is no longer the same band you have always known. After a rollercoaster of personal reckonings and extreme professional highs and lows, the quintet – singer Austin ‘Ozzy’ Williams, bassist Cavan McCarthy, keyboardist James Balmont, guitarist Robbie Wood, and drummer Thomas Fiquet – emerges in 2024 following a creative rebirth, having closely collaborated with beloved solo artist and producer Bill Ryder-Jones. With their most raw, affective, and mature work to date, they now stand on the edge of something familiar yet entirely new: a Swim Deep record that treads a confident, experienced terrain that simply cannot be claimed in one’s twenties. It is an album rooted in the changes Ozzy confronted head-on as he turned 30: getting married, becoming a father, even losing loved ones. But it also owes to the more gradual revelations that only come with aging and truly sitting with oneself.
On Saturday, September 21, 2024, you can hear and see SWIM DEEP live in the Kleine Zaal!
