Swim Deep share ‘One Great Song And I Could Change The World’

Swim Deep’s borderline bonkers change in direction continues. The Birmingham band have followed up the baggy, krautrock-nodding ‘To My Brother’ with ‘One Great Song And I Could Change the World’.

The track gained its first play on Huw Stephens’ Radio 1 show last night, and it’s being backed by a Bob Dylan-channeling lyric video, Austin Williams holding words like “VOGUE” and chorus lines on pieces of paper. Poor Zack, meanwhile, doesn’t look like he knows why he’s there. At one point he holds up a sheet with an unhappy face.

‘One Great Song And I Could Change the World’ initially sticks to routine, by Swim Deep’s standards, but it’s defined by a zipping synth solo and Austin’s line: “Have I said why I love the sunrise? It’s ‘cause it’s only gonna get lighter.”

Needless to say, this is a very different Swim Deep to the one arriving two years back with bright, B-town backed indie. Catch up with our recent interview and report from their London live comeback.
