Lowswimmer announces new album ‘Godspeed, Fantasy’

April 5, 2025 James Weaver

LOWSWIMMER has announced a new album!

Titled Godspeed, Fantasy, the upcoming album from the Bristol-based alternative multi-instrumentalist is the follow-up to last year’s Interpretations covers album, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via self-release.

Speaking about the upcoming album, he shares, “Godspeed, Fantasy was written two years ago, during a period of great change in my life. It was hugely cathartic at the time, subconsciously writing about allowing yourself to be who you are, whilst pushing yourself to change in the ways you, and only you, want to. Releasing it now is just as cathartic, a marked change in LOWSWIMMER stylistically, and the most ambitious record I’ve ever released across all five of my projects. I wanted the record to be bursting at the seems with melody, and be full of addictive vocal and synth parts, leaving much of the lyrical content open to interpretation for the audience to project themselves into what I feeling at the time. I couldn’t be more excited for people to hear it.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, LOWSWIMMER has released two new songs from the upcoming album; Nosebleeds and Open Season. The new singles follow on from IRL, which will also appear on the upcoming album.

Speaking about the new singles, he shares, “Nosebleeds has a similar sentiment to the previous single, IRL. Trying new things, but being true to yourself and staying within your comfort zone and that being ok. Realising you haven’t been present enough, and trying to change that. These songs were written during a huge shift in my personal life, and were my way of both trying to push myself and give myself more slack.

Open Season is being thankful for the people in your life that help you through. Friends, family, colleagues, even strangers. Beating yourself up in your head and realising that talking and verbalising things makes everything easier.”
