Multi-faceted Scottish artist Barry Can’t Swim today shares “How It Feels”, an infectious new single from his ambitious and long-awaited debut album ‘When Will We Land?’ which lands in October. The track explores Barry’s experiences writing his very first album. “Writing an album for the first time got me thinking about writing music in a different way, treating it kind of like jigsaw pieces that slot together to create something that’s only finished when it’s listened to as a whole” he commented.
Speaking more on the new single “How It Feels” Barry adds –
“When I first started this song it was intended to be a segue between tracks, more of a breather on the album that helped the overall fluidity, but when I handed the album in I realised it was one of my favourite songs on there and I wanted it to be a single.
The whole thing was started and finished in about 2 hours. Sometimes the best tunes are the ones that feel the most effortless and you’re just channelling something you’re not even that aware of and then you listen back and you’re like, ok I actually think that’s done!”
