Swimmers Jackson – Summer’s Here
Friday 16th June, 2017
They say: “The single is an ode to the welcome stretch in Dublin summer’s evenings gone by, spent largely at the Portobello section of the Canal in South Dublin.
Hours totalling days have been whittled away there, whether waiting for a gig in The Lower Deck (now Bello Bar) to start, or until you had enough money to go sit in the warmth of O’Connells pub, long after the sun goes down.”
We say: “A laid back, lazy afternoon tune, ‘Summer’s Here’ reminds us a little of Kurt Vile mixed in with Kings of Convenience.
Swimmers Jackson showcases some great guitar skills towards the end but the vocals are the highpoint of this song, layering together in a blissful and hazy way. Who doesn’t enjoy those long and bright summer days?”
Niall Jackson aka Swimmers Jackson is a London based singer songwriter from Dublin. ‘Summer’s Here’ is the first single off his upcoming untitled E.P due for release in 2017.
