1.
[crash] [intro] V1: said it robbed you of something / but you threw away much more yourself / in your pathetic insistence / that you were meant to be someone else / well you know this life / is wasted on you / well you know this life / is wasted B: you can try to manufacture what you see in other people's lives / but you think to yourself C: it's just not the same / oh I bet it doesn't feel the same / it's just not the same / oh I bet it doesn't feel the same V2: spent all your money on new clothes / you just make them look cheap / it's your pathetic existence / that you can't change every second week B C [clock & dialogue] Mid: wasted / wasted on you [outro] [end]
2.
[intro] V1: see what you're not / whatever it takes you know you haven't got B1: I can see that / you believe that / maybe it will / all work out someday / can't you see that / it's already too late? [C] V2: So sad, the things you do / part of you still thinks your dream is coming true (don't you?) B2: I can see that / you believe that / maybe you've still / got something to say / can't you feel all those / years gone to waste? [wordless cooing] [C] V3: come on / give it up / you know that just the / fantasy will be enough for you B3: I can see that / you believe that / maybe it will / all work out someday / and you / can't kill the / hope that there's / got to be a way / and deep / down you know / what you still can't / bring yourself to say / that you / know that / it's already too... [cooing etc.]... too late [C] [end]
3.
[intro] V1: change / oh change / is it only worth / as much as you can prove? / and I pray in vain / oh / that you'll start to / wonder if it's true V2: we've paid / oh we've paid / more than any two / should ever do / and you say again / no / "I won't be the one / who get's to choose / for you" C: Don't you know / when I'm alone / when I'm alone / I'm [waiting OR praying] for you? [synth] V3: wait / oh wait / just another day / again / and I stay away / oh / long enough is only / who knows when [C] Mid: well I know sometimes / when I look at you / you just see everything / that I put you through / it's only now / I can imagine you / gone / you're gone [C] [end]
4.
Loop 04:16
[intro] V1: Can't be wrong / I'm where I belong B1: I don't like to think about / what I'd come to be / if you were gone (I don't know if it's gonna be alright) C: ooooooooooo V2: (we) won't be wrong [?] / a word's a song B2: I don't wanna hollow out / and leave you just / clawing at the wire (it's gonna be alright) [C] ['guitar solo'] [outro]

about

Hailing from sleepy Ocean Grove, VIC, not-real-band Swim Lanes burst into glorious non-existence with this self-titled EP.

Spinning layers of vintage synth, guitar and harmonies into a swirling, molten sound, SL patiently pour said brew into the four glimmering vessels presented herein.

Touching on a range of sounds from the dreamy end of the spectrum, the EP serves up gauzy, aqueous synth jams (see 'Wasted On You'), fuzzed-up noise disco ('Already Too Late'), pounding dream-drone ('Loop') and glittering synth pop ('When I'm Alone') for your listening delectation.

While SL does not and will continue to not really exist, thanks for listening anyway. Stay safe y'all!
