SOFT SWELLS’ FLOODLIGHTS OUT NOW!

“Because it’s prettier than Nada Surf, more hopeful than Spoon, and less glitchy than Bastille, yet somehow makes us think of all three. That’s a good thing.” – Esquire

“[Floodlights‘] lasting impressions build and rise with hopes of a bountiful bond to last for all time, as the Soft Swells leave you in an electric melange of forget me nots” – Impose
“Soft Swells’ relentlessly upbeat songs are the ocean breeze to cynicism’s summer heat.”
– Buzzbands.LA
Soft Swells’ highly anticipated sophomore album Floodlights is out now on Modern Outsider Records. Tim Williams, the mastermind behind Soft Swells, tracked most of Floodlights with producer Dave Lynch (the other Dave Lynch) at ElectricZoo in Eastbourne, UK, with Soft Swells’ touring bass player and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Pappas at his side, and a guest appearance by resident UK drummer Phil Wilkinson (Jake Bugg, Brian Eno).  As if that wasn’t enough, Misty Boyce (Sara Bareilles), Jonathan Visger (Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr) and Soft Swells’ touring guitarist Kyle Frederickson all contributed their talents via satellite. The album is available in stores now and digitally via iTunes.
The band is also sharing another new remix for their first single, “Floodlights.” This time the remix comes to us from Brooklyn based pop-rock duo Savoir Adore.
Soft Swells recently stopped by the KUTX studio in Austin, TX for a live intimate acoustic session performing some of their new songs off the record.  Take a listen to the live session HERE.

The band is currently on tour making major stops along the way in New York, Nashville, Chicago, and Seattle before ending at Lofi in Seattle on October 16. The full list of Soft Swells tour dates can be found below. Purchase tickets at softswells.com.
