Saturday, September 08, 2007

Swimmer One’s debut album, The Regional Variations, will be officially released in late September, 2007.

However you can order the album now via our label shop.

Reviews so far…

‘A promiscuous synth pop marvel. Swimmer One’s lascivious digital kitchen sink dramas are peculiar, humdrum, universal; less 15 minutes of fame, more 15 minutes of air: and they’re all the more buoyant, and cardinal, for it.’ Plan B.

‘Might just be the find of the year.... Swimmer One’s brilliance should be shouted from the rooftops.’ The List.

‘The Regional Variations has been worth the epic wait; 11 intelligent, wry vignettes wrapped in rich perfectionist pop.’ The Herald.

Watch out for more reviews and features in the national press in the next few weeks.

The Regional Variations’ tracklist is as follows.

1. Drowning Nightmare 1
2. Largs Hum

Luxury Car on the Radio 1 Evening Session

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Luxury Car recorded a live session for BBC Radio 1 Session in Scotland with Vic Galloway. The four new tracks are available to listen to on their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/luxurycar.

The session features the recorded debut of the live rhythm section, for those who only know Luxury Car as a electro-duo. David “Stitchy” Coyle will be playing bass and singing with them until he goes off to live in Norway next year. He is also the singer in the only good white funk band ever - OBE. Jon Murray is the new drummer. He also plays with ‘cooler than fuck’ indie band The X Vectors.

Luxury Car are pictured above - very drunk at their former bass player Louise’s wedding.
