Vancouver's Swim Team have shared a video for the new single "Innocent" from the upcoming album Hurricane, which the trio will self-release on September 15.
The song is more danceable and electronic than Swim Team's past work, with the band retaining their angular art-rock guitars while adding pulsing dance-rock rhythms, synthetic textures and pop-friendly vocals. The song eventually evaporates into a jazzy instrumental outro. A press release points to the band's insular, intricate recording process over the pandemic as the reason for the change.
The accompanying video complements the song's moody tone, showing the musicians performing amid stark lighting and psychedelic projections. It was directed by Gayatri Bajpai; the Hurricane cover photo was shot by Marisa Kriangwiwat Holmes.
