John sings. He is lanky and awkward, but with the cheeky, wry humour and edgy stage presence of a young Bernard Sumner. With better cheekbones. Willy, his brother, is a big bear of a man who makes beautiful, exciting, unexpected sounds with a theremin and a laptop.
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. 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.
Swimmer One released their debut single, We Just Make Music For Ourselves, as a limited edition on their own label, Biphonic Records. The song was immediately picked up by Radio One DJs Mark Radcliffe, Steve Lamacq, Gill Mills and Vic Galloway, and put the track on the station’s ‘Most Important Releases Of The Week’ list. The single, includes a short film by Edinburgh artist Daniel Warren featuring squash, Scrabble and explicit sex.
