Holy Models: Swimming 12"

Summer never ends in Australia. Sure they have a few rainy days here and there, but for the most part it's clear skies and sunny days on the beach. It's this perfect climate that breeds tracks like Holy Model's "Swimming," the kind of jam that makes it feel like a warm August night, even in the dead of winter. The shimmery synth washes, breezy vocals, and a laid back tempo bring to mind night drives along the coast and beachside chillin'. If you dig Washed Out, or similar chillwave vibes, this one's a must. Flipside includes dancefloor friendly remixes from Rocco Raimundo (who adds some boogie squiggle) and Freeform Five, as well as another chilled-out Holy Models original "To Be With You." Cool pic sleeve too.
