Over their four year existence, Bangor raised and London based guitar pop quintet Swimming Tapes have released a steady stream of standalone singles, none of which we can remember disliking. And their beaming and beautiful new single ‘Keep Her Closer’ is no exception. In fact, with its indelible heart-warming vibe and crystalline delivery its up there with their best. Glistening guitar melodies shining with sentiment, an enticingly full and innately true rhythm and gorgeously translucent vocals delivered in plaintive earnest means in this musical realm you’ve got as close to as good as your gonna get. ‘Keep Her Closer’ will appear as the penultimate track on their long awaited debut album Morningside out later this week.
