Soft Swells, the rising synth-rock project fronted by Tim Williams, has a record called Floodlights out next month via Modern Outsider. If that wasn’t newsworthy enough, Williams’ outfit — which features bassist and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Pappas, guitarist Kyle Frederickson, and a cameo from drummer Phil Wilkinson (Brian Eno, Jake Bugg) — has now announced a North American jaunt in support of the sophomore LP. Soft sophomore swells down by the seashore in summer, I’m serious!
Before the official tour kicks off, Soft Swells will play a three-week residency at the Echo in L.A., then surf over to Austin for a gig at Cheer Up Charlie’s. In addition, the group has shared a remix of their title track from mysterious producer EXROYALE, which glides along with a sultry, electro R&B refrain. Shiny stuff. Until Floodlights drops on September 30, the lead single, accompanying remix, and full list of American dates can be found below.
