Beschreibung


Mute Swimmer is a musical project of British artist Guy Dale. Through numerous releases and a
shifting cast of collaborators and players Dale has been shooting his fascination with the lyrical
song through art performance, folk, post rock, new wave, ambient drone and spoken word.
He has described Mute Swimmer as a character of sabotage - frequently upending expectations
of the ‘singer-songwriter’ by playing with the form in different musical contexts and taking the
process of writing and moment of performance itself as a subject. As such his songs often enter
uniquely into the real time of performance - addressing the listener directly in the present tense.
Romantic, ironic and hauntingly melancholic by rapid turns he has earned a reputation for his
compelling, idiosyncratic live performances and recordings.
Old Love a collaboration with Copenhagen based musician Own Road was released on Dendron
Records in 2018. Air Itself - a meditative suite of song-scapes channeled Dale’s poetic,
ambivalent lyricism through ambient folk, field recording and lo-fi drone. Present Perfect (2015)
and Second (2014) - recorded as a four piece ‘art rock’ band - received airplay on BBC 6 Music
(UK), Byte FM (Germany) and Radio Tres (Spain). Seven inch single Song Against Itself (2011)
was record of the week at Rough Trade and Piccadilly Records. Other releases include Old
Tricks (2013), Orientation (2011) and the eponymous debut Mute Swimmer (2010).
Mute Swimmer has released music on Truco Espárrago, Dendron, Woodland and Bleeding Heart
Recordings.
