In a time obsessed with order and resolution, Ava in the Dark stares into the gray and chooses to swim in it. Their new single, "SWIM," doesn't come with answers, just an invitation to swim in the questions.
"SWIM" explores the hazy in-between of reality vs. reflection. A sonic plunge into the murky water where lucid dreams ripple into intrusive thought, and the demarcation between righteousness and sin smudge like ink on paper. Instead of gasping for air, Ava in the Dark hovers in that disorienting double-space, relishing the discomfort and allowing it to make the song haunt.
"SWIM" is the ethereal soundscapes gently crash against raw, reflective undercurrents, crafting an expansive and intimate sound. And it's the kind of track not so much for background listening: It pulls you under, suspends you in its depths, and challenges you to find some comfort in the drift.
"SWIM" the song resonates the way it does because it never attempts to be anything besides what it is: a moment held in suspension, the pause before the breath, an echo of the silent yearning we all keep inside us. So, if you're ready to leave the shore behind, Ava in the Dark's "SWIM" can guide you through those beautifully blurred edges of existence.
