Artfully blending the power and and energy of Pixies with the ambient soundscapes of Boards Of Canada, their talent for sonic experimentation never detracts from their innate gift for melody.In 2008, a couple of low-level digital single releases via Brightons Izumi Records garnered plaudits from critics such as Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Dean Jackson (BBC Nottingham) and Glastonburys own Emily Eavis, who personally selected the band to play this years festival. This has been followed by shows with contemporaries such as Chairlift, Pivot and Shearwater.Building on this early critical acclaim, May 2009 saw the release of Swimmings debut album, The Fireflow Trade, on their own Colourschool label. Engineered entirely by the band themselves and produced by frontman John Sampson (whose previous producer credits include the likes of Amusement Parks On Fire), the album is a beautiful synergy of textures and melodies.
