Swimming With Dolphins will release their debut album, Water Colours, on May 17 via Tooth & Nail. The ambient synth-pop singer/songwriter, Austin Tofte, formally of Owl City, is currently on tour with Family Force 5 in support of the compelling disc, which was greatly inspired by the ocean and fond childhood memories of America’s largest lakes. The album’s first single, “Sleep To Dream,” will be digitally released April 26 and is available to stream at on the band’s Facebook page, today.
Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, The Almost) and Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (Cartel, Mayday Parade), Water Colours expands upon Tofte’s contemporary synth-pop, which he previously explored on 2008’s Ambient Blue EP, boasting heartfelt lyrics and a vibrant sonic palette. The disc represents two-plus years of songwriting by Tofte and has a deeply organic, human feel. Check out the bands upcoming tour dates below along with the album for for Water Colours. [Read more…]
