About

Night Swimming are a Dream Pop band formed and based in the city of Bath, Somerset. Drawn to music that is atmospheric in nature, they revel in their exploration of '...the darker nuances of human experience.' Describing their sound as '...dream pop with subtle shoegaze and trip-hop influences', with their love of film motivating them to create music with a cinematic aesthetic, Night Swimming invite the listener to visualise, and to indulge their imagination.

Their influences include Wolf Alice, Daughter and Warpaint- and more recently, artists such as Ireland's finest, Just Mustard- all alongside tribal elders such as Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Radiohead and Slowdive. Night Swimming are inspired by Slowdive's '...combination of sensory elements' and the resulting '...deepening of emotional response.

Velvetine are an alternative rock band. Through shifting around London the band formed through their shared interests in poetry, film and visual art. The band's line-up settled with Mia Scarlet (vocals), Ross Fernyhough (guitar), Josh Rowell (bass) and Nate Wicks (drums) after a few changes, though the band's creative approach and unmistakable vision endured. They blend influences of post-punk, shoegaze, goth art-rock and cinematic soundscape. Their live shows continue to entice audiences, stirring up a 'magnetic' and 'bewitching' atmosphere through their immense wall of sound. They have been compared to that Siouxsie and The Banshees, Mazzy Star and Sonic Youth.
