Title: Destined for success
Product review: Swimmer have been playing New York venues for a while now and have finally cut an album. The day before I received the CD (a promo copy from a friend at the label) I had blown $700 on some brand new Bose Accoustimass 'cube' speakers, and "Surreal" shows exactly why that was a good investment.Lead singer and co-producer Anday McCarron sounds like Thom Yorke (Radiohead) trapped in tight underwear - belting out big vocals in between soft and painful cries. Swimmer do have a Radiohead-esque feel, albeit with a more basic guitar backing - but it's a great sound.The title track is fantastic and the album is a winner. Get it now so you can say you were into them before they were famous...
