3. Wild Swim
Judge's comments: You’d be forgiven for assimilating certain aspects of Wild Swim’s delicate aura for that of Wild Beasts; much of the instrumentation is characterised by similarly soft textures and neat cyclical builds, vocals persistently hint at Hayden Thorpe’s distinctive operatic flair, and seamless transitions on newest track “Echo” from its eerie and contemplative beginnings into unsettling yet controlled chaos suggest, as with Wild Beasts, that an infinitude of future idiosyncrasies are yet to show themselves.
