Can’t Swim announce new EP ‘Foreign Language’

CAN’T SWIM have announced a new EP!

Titled Foreign Language, the upcoming EP marks a change in musical direction for the band and is scheduled to be released in October this year.

“Foreign Language is a record that I felt necessary to put out,” explains vocalist Chris LoPorto. “These events in my life that I had never touched on in previous material, that I never had the right words for, finally made sense in the time we are living in now. To be able to write music honestly and to be transparent with our agenda, has always been the goal and Foreign Language is the best interpretation of that yet. It is very easy to fall under criticism and do what you “think” you should do with your art – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – and while I too am a victim of these tropes and have hit roadblocks creativity because of the pressure, I can proudly say that this release came so naturally and organically, playing to our strengths but also letting the mistakes and mishaps have their place on the recordings.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming EP; titled Filthy Rich. The new song features a guest appearance from Spencer Pollard of TRASH TALK.

On the lyrics of Filthy Rich, LoPorto says, “money makes people do awful things. It can turn friends into enemies and family members into distant strangers.The song is about feeling manipulated, used, and taken advantage of by someone who is close to you. The bridge always felt a bit empty and uninteresting in the demo stage to me but luckily my good friend Spencer Pollard, whose band TRASH TALK I briefly played in years ago, was in town and came by the studio to sing on the song. After that it finally felt complete.”
