Single review by kev@thesoundofconfusion.co.uk
It's just over a week until one of the so called "B-town" champions, Swim Deep, release their much anticipated debut album 'Where The Heaven Are We?'. Ahead of release, the Birmingham quartet are putting out this new version of 'King City' as a single. One of the tracks that helped them become such a hyped band over the past year, 'King City' was first released just over a year ago but now comes re-recorded and with a new video which the band filmed on their first visit to the US. The sunny climes of of L.A. provide perfect visuals to such a summery tune.
It will ultimately be the success (or lack thereof) of the album that decides whether Swim Deep have been worth the press attention they've gained, but their run of singles so far has been outstanding (see also 'The Sea' and ace former OROTW 'She Changes The Weather'). 'King City', as fans will no doubt already be aware, is a firm favourite and a splendid addition to this run, as synths chime in the background and a driving beat pushes the song off into the sun accompanied by some enthusiastic "ooh oohs" that all point to this track becoming a potential anthem for the indie masses this summer.
