SWANES - Dreams of Iceland - 2019


'Dreams of Iceland' follows previous releases for SWANES on Kitsuné (Parcels, Hot Chip, Simian Mobile Disco) - it cuts a similar downtempo groove, meshing kicked-back rhythms with butter smooth choruses, this time taking influence from ancient Nordic song forms. With 'Dreams of Iceland', primary songwriter, Michael Bildy, took inspiration from turbulent personal relationships - a notion cut in-line with the track’s glistening, icy soundscapes.



“You’ve probably already seen SWANES on all the trendy Spotify indie playlists, the dreaded algorithm knows: they’re worth a listen” - The 405
“SWANES merge hypnotising synths with their dreamy vocals” - The Line Of Best Fit
“A chilled out, laid back vibe lends itself to those looking to take it easy in the extreme heat” - EARMILK
"SWANES employs aqueous electronics and vulnerable, soulful vocals to speak candidly of personal struggles" - Bandcamp Daily
