Song of the Day - In Too Deep

Today's song of the day comes from Birmingham based fourpiece Swim Deep. Swim Deep make music that is similarly to surf-rock, which fits well with their aquatic-themed styling, such as the album cover of their debut album, Where the Heaven are We. Their debut album peaked at 20 in the UK charts, which  means whilst they haven't become big, they've certainly been making waves  (pun most definitely intended) with their unique brand of surf-rock.

This is Honey:


 
So What's So Good?
 
Honey is a dreamy song, with a distant drumbeat that starts the song off. Just as the song appears to be drifting off into limbo, lead singer Austin Williams kicks in to gear. The guitars start, giving a trance like feel to the opening verse.

Honey is a song you could easily fall asleep to - there's a reason they have been described as dream-pop. It's blissful, dreamy and distant, and Williams even sings about dreaming. Swim Deep effortlessly capture the peaceful and calm nature of sleep, within a simple but listenable indie-rock track.

Swim Deep have received some good review for their music and it's easy to see why, with enjoyable tracks like this. Honey is the perfect song for a sombre mood or just a moment of reflection. Give it a listen.
