…is warm April days spent wandering the parks alone accompanied by the sound of Headswim. This band, from the late nineties, defined my university years; they were bloody brilliant: kinda rocky and Radiohead-esque.
Brothers, Dan and Tom are still performing as BlackCar, presenting Dan’s raw, yet gorgeous, floaty voice amid quiet musical introspection, gentle keyboards, shoe-gazey indie guitars and glinting moments of rock.
OK, OK and Dan, the lead singer, is quite pretty too. However, when I saw Headswim gig in 1999/2000, he seemed very shy in performance (I’ve seen them twice, once supporting the magical Drugstore at the Hop & Grape).
Think I’m beginning to fall in love again. Yay! Spring!
