Birmingham quintet Swim Deep release their fifth album Hum. Rejuvenated and sounding more confident than ever, the band channel grit and melody in equal measure.

Produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, Hum follows on from There’s A Big Star Outside, exploring the aftermath of personal change through songs about loss, family, and responsibility. It’s Swim Deep’s heaviest, most adventurous, and most uplifting record in years — a band still chasing the dream, now with deeper purpose at stake.
