Editorial Reviews
The Swimmers return with their sophomore release on MAD Dragon Records entitled People Are Soft. The Philadelphia, PA based act is reminiscent of 60's British pop - hinting at influences such as the Kinks and the Velvet Underground while drawing comparisons to contemporaries The Arcade Fire, Interpol, Joy Division and The New Pornographers. The Swimmers debut release, Fighting Trees, garnered rave reviews from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Magnet, NY Times, The Tripwire and Time Out Chicago making their Artist to Watch and Top Ten Year End Polls in 2008.

A bit dancy but in a Swimmery sort of way,

This review is from: People Are Soft (Audio CD)
Having been a fan of the prior band before The Swimmers (One Star Hotel; Check them out!) and having picked up the first Swimmers album, i knew i had to give this one a shot. I must admit, initially i was thrown off as this album does have some dancey sort of grooves to it. After spinning a week and letting the album soak in however it has shown itself to be an album full of very solid pop music. On this album, you can see the Swimmers broadening their stroke as it were.

The Smart Way,
This review is from: People Are Soft (Audio CD)
Here is the formula the Swimmers are using on People Are Soft: use four solid musicians to play cool arrangements of smart songs. The Swimmers prove over and over that you can sound new and fresh while creating catchy, urgent music you can dance to. Sounding both direct and mysterious, both controlled and exuberant, People Are Soft will remind you of music from great bands of the past while also reminding you of the originality and wit you liked about music in the first place. Great stuff.
