Swim (Caribou album)

Swim is an album by Caribou, released in April 2010. It was his first album featuring new material since the 2008 Polaris Music Prize-winning Andorra. It featured great changes in comparison to its predecessor, deviating from the psychedelic pop sound and taking more influences from various kinds of electronic dance music, especially deep house and minimal techno.

Dan Snaith, the creative force behind Caribou, said that playing more DJ gigs, such as those at London's Plastic People, influenced him to embrace dance music and a greater range of frequencies in his music. It was songs written for these DJ sets which ultimately came to comprise Swim, though Snaith never originally intended for them to find their way into a Caribou album. Snaith says his work ethic on this album led to about 700 leftover songs, some unfinished, which did not make the album; Swim was, according to Snaith "pretty much me getting up every day and wanting to work on music. Working constantly on it. Making loads and loads and loads of music and then just sifting through to find the bits that I like".

Swim (Emily's Army EP)

Swim is the fourth EP by the American rock band Emily's Army, released on July 22, 2014, through Burger Records and Rise Records. The album is the bands first release on Burger Records and last on Rise Records. The Album was produced by Drummer Joey Armstrong's father, Billie Joe Armstrong. It is the bands last release under their former name "Emily's Army" after changing their name to "Swimmers" in late 2014, and later "Swmrs" in late 2015 It is also the last record to feature lead guitarist Travis Neumann and last to feature Max on bass before switching to lead guitar.

Background

This is the first music of the bands to feature their "beach pop" and "power pop" sound. Lead Guitarist Travis Neumann left after the recording of the EP but was featured in the music video for "Aliens Landing". The album was once again produced by Joey Armstrong's father, Billie Joe Armstrong. The album is mixed by Chris Dugan and mastered by Chris Mathers and Matthew Voelker. The band toured in summer 2014 with Rise Against in support of the EP.
