Nagasaki Swim

Nagasaki Swim writes music that gives you courage, even if you're just walking to the supermarket or merging onto the highway again after a long time. With firm roots in Rotterdam and three albums under their belt through Amsterdam’s iconic Excelsior Recordings label, the band around songwriter/producer Jasper Boogaard grows in many directions.

Alongside Boogaard, the lineup features members of bands like Personal Trainer, Library Card – and a phone book's worth of rotating band members on violin, lap steel, and saxophone.

Starter Car, who burst onto the London scene after being formed around Scottish songwriter Oisean, quickly carving out a name with their country?tinged indie sound.
