(27th September) Bath/Bristol-based dream-pop band Night Swimming today release their debut EP 'No Place To Land' - self-released digitally and on 12" vinyl.

Continuing their swift ascent to becoming one of the UK's most talked about new bands, with 'No Place To Land', Night Swimming have delivered a bold, ambitious, spectacular statement of intent and a sure signifier of a band set to soar to the very top.

Taken under the wing of British producer Peter Miles (Orla Gartland, TORRES), the band decamped the south west for Middle Farm Studios in Devon in 2023 to make their debut EP 'No Place To Land'. Recorded live to tape, industrial rhythms are set against a colourful, atmospheric soundscape, with the band noting the influence of Beach House and Slowdive’s live shows for their "combination of sensory elements" and the resulting "deepening of emotional response". 

'No Place To Land' features the previously released singles "Evergreen", "Let That Be Enough" and "Five-Year Plan" - which have caught the attention of respected tastemakers including The Line of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, Dork Magazine, Under The Radar Magazine, Rough Trade, The Rodeo, Notion Magazine and more. Elsewhere the band have received glowing radio airplay from BBC 6 Music's Emily Pilbeam as well as being added to the Radio X X-Posure playlist.

Allowing their collective love of film and scores to motivate them to create music with a cinematic aesthetic, Night Swimming invite the listener to visualise and to indulge their imaginations, with further influences ranging from precursors such as Cocteau Twins, The Cure and Radiohead to more modern contemporary inspiration in the shape of Wolf Alice, Just Mustard and Warpaint.

Lyricist and vocalist, Meg Jones writes in semi-veiled autobiography, drawing on her own experiences, and the experiences of those close to her. In her teens, the lyricism of folk artists such as Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling and Ben Howard resonated with her, for their introspectiveness and sensitivity to detail. More recently, she has found inspiration in writers such as Daughter’s Elena Tonra, Robert Smith, and Lana Del Rey.

On the live stage, the band opened the SWX Stage at Dot To Dot Festival ahead of Picture Parlour, Mary in the Junkyard, Hovvdy and Wunderhorse, following notable dates supporting Coach Party, L'Objectif, The Orielles, The Blinders, Sad Night Dynamite, Automotion, Home Counties, amongst others.

Night Swimming's debut EP 'No Place To Land' is out now, released 27th September. Night Swimming celebrate the release of the EP tonight with an in-store at Rough Trade West in London, before headlining Rough Trade Bristol tomorrow night (28th September) and The Bodega in Nottingham on 30th September.
