Swimming Tapes dive in with ‘Set The Fire’ track

Every weekday, DIY’s new music know-it-all Neu brings you one essential new release to get obsessed with. Today’s Neu Pick comes from Swimming Tapes.

Heatwave-ready, Swimming Tapes’ ‘Set The Fire’ is as scorching as that title might suggest.

Shimmering away, but never getting lost in its own waves, it’s proof that dream-pop’s currently playing its strongest hand to date. The youthful exuberance of Alvvays battling with the cloudy-headed dreaminess of Turnover, Day Wave and co, Swimming Tapes are pitching themselves right up there with the greats of summer BBQs and dodgy iPhone speaker systems.
