Top 10 of 2013: Swim Deep - Where The Heaven Are We (LP)

I waited many months to get my hands on this album. Where The Heaven Are We is Swim Deep's debut album, and it put these young British rockers on the map!


I had discovered these guys months before their album was supposed to release, but their SoundCloud was full of songs, so I didn't need to be too impatient. Initially their style and sound is a little strange; they sound like they grew up by the beach making bright, sun-sprayed indie rock jams, but they're from gloomy Birmingham in the UK.. so that doesn't exactly add up. But somehow they are able to channel a vibe that is completely foreign to their environment at home, which is pretty cool.

The first single off the album was the track King City. This track is infectiously poppy, and its about wanting more from life than you have now, which everyone can relate too. Get down to the track below!



My first favorite track off the album was definitely The Sea. I LOVED its laid back, happy vibe that is perfect for a stroll down the beach or through the park on a gorgeous day. It was on every summer playlist I made this year. Put your Raybans on and go for a stroll to it sometime.. you won't regret it!



Other notable tracks on the album that strike my fancy are Honey, Soul Trippin, She Changes The Weather and Francisco. You can hear all these songs on the Audible Twilight Best of 2013 Spotify Playlist!!

Follow Swim Deep on Facebook and cross your fingers with me that by some miracle they make it to Coachella this year!!!

Enjoy! <3
