Can’t Swim announce new album ‘Change Of Plans’

CAN’T SWIM have announced a new album!

Titled Change Of Plans, the upcoming album from the band is their third full-length album, the follow-up to 2020’s Someone Who Isn’t Me and When The Dust Settles EPs, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Pure Noise Records.

The upcoming album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Will Putney [A DAY TO REMEMBER, EVERY TIME I DIE, BODY COUNT, KNOCKED LOOSE] of Graphic Nature Audio.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Chris LoPorto says, “all of our endeavours as a band have led us to make what I think is the most honest and transparent album in our discography. We spent way less time recording what we thought we should be writing and put down whatever came naturally. The recording process was certainly the easiest to date as well – we knew what we wanted going into it. I’m constantly writing songs and some of the tracks on Change Of Plans have been in the demo stage for almost four years now so it feels great to finally have them all together on one release.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, CAN’T SWIM have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming release; Deliver Us More Evil.

Deliver Us More Evil was one of those songs that I knew right off the bat would be a single someday for CAN’T SWIM,” says LoPorto about the new single. “I think I came home from tour and sat down in my studio and wrote the entire thing in an afternoon. One of my favorite songwriters said in an interview that a good song should only take a half-hour to write. When I listen to Deliver Us More Evil, it really sounds like the future of the band to me, a road I have been wanting to go down for a long time.

The video was shot in Brooklyn, New York by Benjamin Lieber. It was the first time we were all in the same room since COVID. Almost two years without touring and seeing each other made the day feel more special. Performing with the two dancers and being directed by Ben made me miss touring and doing this band full-time. The imagery displayed in the video tie into a lot of the themes on the album.”
