Night Swimming are back with a new single, and I’m really loving the sound they’re going for. ‘Poison Berry’ is lush, dreamy, and feels like a beautiful mix between Wolf Alice, Slowdive, and Night Tapes. It’s hypnotic, immersive, and pulls you in from the first note.

Speaking on the release, vocalist Meg Jones said:

“‘Poison Berry’ is an amalgamation of my experiences with men and how they have made me feel in relationships, but it is also a reflection of my own responsibility for the kinds of dynamics I can be drawn to. There is a dryness of tone to this song that I haven’t explored before in lyrics, and a numbness. ‘Poison Berry’ details the state of being acutely aware of your partner’s emotions, although they seem distant, and the loneliness (or bitterness) of feeling like that isn’t reciprocated.”

‘Poison Berry’ is the second taste from their upcoming EP ‘Melting, Sometimes Bleeding’, out May 22 via Venn Records. If this is any indication, the EP is shaping up to be another captivating journey into Night Swimming’s cinematic dream-pop world.
