Toronto-based indie-folk outfit Great Lake Swimmers have shared their latest single "One More Dance Around the Sun," the band's first new material since 2023's Uncertain Country.
Recorded at Ganaraska Recording Company near Port Hope, Ontario, the track's warm and reflective tone sees songwriter Tony Dekker turning his eye to the "passage of time and the search of constancy in an ever-shifting world." Watch the music video for "One More Dance Around the Sun" below.
"This song pinpoints a very distinct feeling for me," Dekker shared of the track. "Riding around in the summertime with the windows down — maybe after a solid workday, maybe on route to an epic road trip, or maybe just seeing familiar surroundings with renewed vision. It's about perseverance, new beginnings, and the searching that invites wisdom and perspective as the planet spins on."
In addition to the new single, Great Lake Swimmers have also announced an upcoming Canadian tour with fellow Toronto rockers Elliot BROOD this fall. The tour will begin October 15 in Regina, and will take the bands across 14 different Canadian cities, where it will conclude on November 2 in Winnipeg.
