Show Notes

Howdy friends! Today’s episode is the second installment of our New Friends Fest 2025 coverage, featuring an interview with Newfoundland-based band Swimming. From late-night basement hours to three-day marathons of writing and recording, Swimming’s music is built on both discipline and openness.


Earlier this year, Weajue sat down with Jacob Cherwick to talk about the process of shaping Old (their sophomore record released in February) from long jam sessions into songs that balance mathy intricacy with emotional weight. Tune in on Absent Sounds for our full NFF 2025 interview with Swimming, plus a playthrough of Old.
