When you’re super into someone, it’s always nice when they’re super into you back. This is the case with FMLY and upstate NY’s Swimming in Speakers and I’ve deemed it time for us to take our relationship to the next level. I’m tired of this teasing; we play you on Public Education, you leave us adorable comments. Lets just get past these shy encounters and go public!
Lay in a field, stare at the stars, go blind, and Swimming in Speakers will help find your vision. The darling electronic-acoustic duo of Chris Clarke and Meadow Eliz flawlessly weave catchy electronic hooks, seductive vocal melodies and subtle guitar ballads into their humble pop which suits perfectly for the regular summer mixtape and boombox love scene. It’s difficult to describe the variety of sound that SiS present, with a track like “In Knowing” which boasts repetition and is heavy on the behind the scenes work an entirely different band is displayed than on “Icarus,” an absolutely gorgeous tune placing emphasis on Meadow’s dreamy and timeless voice. Also, to give credit where credit is due the nuance of cello is provided by Jo Sorrell and percussion and guitar work by Justin Grizzoffi. It took one listen for us to want to swim in speakers ourselves so grab a hand, some tunes, and we’ll pull you right in here with us. And don’t forget to tweet ‘em!
swimming in speakers – in knowing
swimming in speakers – serve them well
swimming in speakers – icarus
the last 38 seconds of “icarus” may just be the best ending ever, well maybe not better than that ya boy tune…
Ya Boy – No Replacement (Beyonce Diss) (definitely one of my favorite tracks ever)
