Like Swimming is a Swedish trio formed in 2012 out of a previous group, You Say France & I Whistle, but this is not a young band. Claes Carlström, Ida Hedene, and Petter Wesslander have been writing music together for seven years and it shows, as the group’s music is gorgeously understated, fully developed and sophisticated. “Let Go” is a beautifully composed and performed song that highlights these points. Like Swimming tells us that “with ‘Let Go’, we’ve tried to find a blend of danceable electro sounds and a comforting acoustic feel, since we feel in between those two worlds in our daily life. The song about slowing down, standing still, not moving. So please listen to it while waiting for the next bus, while sitting down, or while sleeping on the job. It’s a series of still life paintings, but without the apples and pears.”
