Press release
Come On, Let’s Go! is the second single by Swimmer One. It is the follow up to We Just Make Music For Ourselves, which was released to wide acclaim and extensive radioplay earlier this year.
The single contains 3 new tracks and a film.
Come On, Let’s Go! is a euphoric pop song about the pointlessness of life and the crushing inevitability of death.
Lake Tahoe is a bedtime story for people who work for a living.
How Could Something Like That Be Love is a love song, notable for a guest vocal appearance by Cora Bissett, who has previously performed on records by Arab Strap, Mogwai and AC Acoustics.
The short film, The Unnamable Disco, is by Edinburgh film-maker Daniel Warren, who as part of Brainhole Productions has previously made videos for the bands Aerogramme, Biffy Clyro and Ballboy, amongst others.
The Unnamable Disco, which features music by Swimmer One, was filmed at Dance Base, the Scottish centre for dance, and has been screened at film festivals worldwide. It recently won Best Film award in the open category of Scotland’s Real to Reel film festival.
