GLASGOW, UK – [10/03/25] – Building on the release last month of their fourth studio album, Greek Actve, Glaswegian art-rockers How to Swim have revealed a slate of fve further studio albums for release throughout 2025.

The band, whose sound was recently described by the Scotsh Daily Express as “majestc art rock, combining the poppiness of Franz Ferdinand and the unpredictability of Field Music”, will celebrate its 25th anniversary as a live entty in 2025 with six brand new studio albums, a 25-part retrospectve visualised podcast series enttled The Band That Time Forgot, and a feature documentary from Glasgow flmmaker Martn Campbell.

Asked about the six albums, lead singer and songwriter Gregor Barclay responded, “We've been around a long tme, and we've not got as much to show for it as we feel we should, release-wise, so this is an efort to redress the balance. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard managed to drop fve studio albums in 2017 and we fgured we could do one beter. Maybe they'll try for seven?”

Asked for comment, Scotsh music journalist and Is This Music? founder Stuart McHugh said, "We’ve long been big fans of How To Swim at Is This Music? but it stll struck us that they’d only made four 'proper' long-players. Now it seems they’re making up for lost tme, and on the evidence of Greek Actve, every album on of this frankly ridiculous release schedule should be well worth the wait. We are indeed spoiled."

With one album available already, the band have now revealed details of the further albums slated for release throughout the year:

1. Greek Actve – 21st February – Scotsh Daily Express

2. Poundstore Diabolism – 29th April

3. Animal Maximum – 25th July

4. Maximum Animal – 25th July

5. Apocalypse How – 31st October

6. TBC – 19th December
