Drawn to the darker nuances of human experience, Night Swimming craft vivid, cinematic soundscapes that blur the lines between dream-pop and indie rock. Driven by a love of film, the Bath-based five-piece invite listeners to visualise and indulge their imaginations, pairing atmosphere and texture with intimate emotional honesty.
Night Swimming's influences span Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Radiohead and Slowdive, through to contemporary touchpoints like Wolf Alice, Daughter, Just Mustard and Warpaint - artists whose sensory depth and emotional clarity continue to shape the band's evolving sound.
Across five Summer days in August 2025, producer Peter Miles recorded the EP tracks live to tape at Middlefarm Studios in Devon. The surrounding moors provided a haunting backdrop, enveloping the creative process and setting the tone for 'Melting, Sometimes Bleeding'.
