Premiere: Swimmers Jackson – Summer’s Here

summerswimmers

An “ode to the welcome stretch in the Dublin summer’s evenings, spent largely at the Portobello section of the canal in South Dublin” ‘Summer’s Here’ by Dublin’s Niall Jackson AKA Swimmers Jackson is the most charming summer song™ that we’ve heard from an Irish artist in quite some time. Equal parts celebratory and wistful, the single finds Jackson – who has been living out of the country for 18 months now – marrying breezy reflection with some rather beautiful harmonies.

Have a first listen to the track and check out Bouts’ bassist Jackson’s eighteen-track, self-explanatory Summer Songs playlist below.
