Swimmer One are from Scotland, and write and record their experimental pop music in a disused church in Edinburgh. Their music has been compared to everyone from the Pet Shop Boys and the Associates to the Blue Nile and the Who. They have made two albums to date, The Regional Variations (2007) and Dead Orchestras (2010).
Hamish Brown and Andrew Eaton formed Swimmer One in 2002, with Laura Cameron Lewis joining the line-up in 2007. Another key contributor is Daniel Warren, who has made several short films with the band and designs all their artwork.
Hamish is a musician and producer who, as well as having played in various bands, has written the music for films about Samuel Beckett and Scottish Ballet (both made by Daniel) and recorded the score for an existential clown show about cannibalism and polar exploration. He also does remixes under the name Hunterheck.
Andrew is a singer-songwriter whose music, before Swimmer One, found its way into one guitar band, one cabaret act, one play and one short film. When he’s not busy with Swimmer One he makes his own music under the name Seafieldroad, and theatre shows with Laura.
Laura is an actor, theatre director, musician, and co-director of the company Highway Diner, who have collaborated with Swimmer One on two projects, a live show called We Just Make Music For Ourselves, performed in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Italy, and the video for Swimmer One’s 2008 single The Balance Company.

As talented and personally lovely as any band can hope to be. Life would be emptier without them.

The forward slash in the Cloudbursting/Lovesong title screws up the download I fear. It's a lovely tune as well. Can someone make it work propoerly?
