In ‘Five-Year Plan’, Night Swimming craft a beautiful exploration of unexpected loss, proving that sometimes the most poignant stories are told in the spaces between words.
Produced by Peter Miles, the track showcases the band’s ability to create a rich, immersive soundscape that feels both vast and intimate. The decision to record live to tape lends an organic warmth to the track, perfectly complementing the raw emotion at its core.
Meg Jones’ vocals serve as the beating heart of ‘Five-Year Plan‘, her unfiltered lyrics painting a vivid picture of pain and confusion in the wake of a suddenly severed connection. The band’s cinematic approach to composition shines through in the lush electronic string arrangements and spectral guitar work, creating a sonic world that feels like a half-remembered dream.
As a teaser for their EP ‘No Place To Land’, ‘Five-Year Plan’ sets a high bar, suggesting that Night Swimming is not just riding the wave of contemporary indie, but actively shaping its future.
