Night Air by Swimwear
Night Air is a concept album based on Richard Yates’ 1960's novel Revolutionary Road: The seven tracks build a story of the joy and heartbreak of a great love, all set against the backdrop of a changing world. It’s about that push and pull between suburban comfort, the idyllic and quiet life, and the desire for more, for wilder dreaming, on the road, out in the world, away from all you know.
Each song is a new chapter in this fictional world, taking its listener from nights out (“Happyness”) and promises of first love (“Funny Bones”) to suburban discontent (“Funny Bones - Part II”) and moonlit escape (“Night Air/Time To Move On”). Yet, after all the heartache and self-destruction, the album closes with an acknowledgement of the need for pain (“It Must Be Love”) and the chance of starting again (“Wild Heart”). An album that demands listening in full, and on repeat, to hear a story of a life, lived at its most heartbreaking and uplifting.
