Edinburgh-based indie rock/alt/indie pop band Swim School have revealed their new single “delirious“.
The song is taken from their just announced new EP ‘Duality’ will be out on 2nd June via LAB Records.
Vocalist Johnson explains, “2022 was our busiest year yet, we travelled the whole of the UK playing new venues and meeting new sound engineers, but not every encounter was good. I experienced a lot of sexism and a distinct lack of respect when it came to working with the majority of male engineers: constantly being patronised and led to feel as though I wasn’t good enough.”
Though, if you’re swim school, you also have a pen and a recording studio. “Instead of letting it get to me,” she says, “I wrote ‘Delirious’, a reminder that insecurities are at the root of sexism. The lyrics are very tongue in cheek, almost making a laughing stock of the person who is being misogynistic.”
