Swoon drops new track “Safeguard”

With two fabulous EP's out in the world, Adam Leng aka Swoon has really captured the essence of lo-fi surf rock. Safeguard is the fifth track released by the Yugambeh based musician so far this year and it's mandatory listening.

The detail in the production of this track has been carefully perfected to create an ambiance that is both suspenseful and relaxing at the same time. Imagine a hair-raising synth waltzing with Nirvana-esque guitar on the balcony of Xanadu, the mansion from Citizen Kane, but instead of the scrap yard out the front, the Castle overlooks a tranquil beach with abandoned sandcastles being dissolved by a rising tide.

The vocals almost act like a breeze passing through a house between two open doors. They're quiet and subtle but if you listen to them properly, you'll notice the rhythmic melody that left me no choice but to add the track to my latest playlist.

If you're a fan of Beach Fossils or The Drums, you're going to absolutely love Swoon. Check out Safeguard below or on your streaming platform of choice.
