ANDREW SWIFT ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE & TOUR
Melbourne tunesmith, Andrew Swift has announced the release of his new single, Sound The Alarm (out this week) alongside a host of shows across Melbourne and Adelaide throughout February and March.
A timeless, heartfelt ballad, Sound The Alarm is as stripped back and raw as Swift gets. “My songs have always been of a personal storytelling nature, but ‘Sound The Alarm’ is about as honest and personal as it’s been so far,” explains Swift. “It was written during the hardest break up I’ve had to go through, but rather than write a heartbroken, ‘woe is me’ type of break up song, what came out was a reflection of the night that that we met.”
Filmed by Tom Crotty alongside Umesh & Szabo Productions, the clip for Sound The Alarm showcases Swift’s adept ballroom dancing skills in an abstract memoir.
Swift has hit the ground running in 2015 already having performed at this year’s Tamworth Country Music Festival and now releasing his new single and tour. 2014 saw Swift embark on an east coast tour with Brisbane’s Marcus Blacke, a Sunday residency at Footscray’s ‘Reverence Hotel’ and performances at the ‘House of Blues’ in San Diego, Anaheim and Hollywood, before hitting the home studio of Antiskeptic’s Andrew Kitchen to produce the stripped back follow up single to his 2013 EP, Up With The Anchor.
