Zulu Winter turn We Should Be Swimming into an instant alarm clock for the indie set. The track feels freshly arrived and oddly inevitable, the kind of song that makes a quiet room seem underdressed.
Glossy guitars flash, the rhythm section keeps a taut pulse, and the vocals sit high and cool above the churn. Bright edges and a practiced lift give the chorus its snap without sanding off the melancholy.
On a hot afternoon, in a cramped flat with the windows open, this song brings the air moving. Sunglasses, sweating ice in a glass, and a little momentum all come easier after one play.
