Drifting in with dreamy strumming and gentle vocals, we presumed at first that Bristol and Newport’s AIRFLO had gifted us a charming little acoustic number for their second single. As we sat and listened, however, it became searingly obvious that ‘Swansong‘ is a bit more of a hefty, profound beast than its tender opening chimes portray.
The indie four-piece craft an empathetic, soulful message to a former lover alongside swooning guitar, a brittle tune and audibly aching vocal. But when the outpouring of indomitable affection ceases a whole powerful wall of sound comes cascading in, thundering drums and all, to truly make sure you’ve been brutally yet delectably whacked in the feelings.
‘Swansong’ was released during the final throes of 2023, on the 8th December in fact. It’s available to hear on all streaming services right now. You can have a watch of the official video right here on this very site through this here Youtube link, too:
