It’s also a song aboutpreserving good relations while the world is changing and seemingly nothing is what it used to be.”The story of ’Hercules’developsand growsfrom the opening notes onthe dusty analogue synthwhile thesweeping acoustic guitars disrupts halfway throughthe songcreating new blissful layers–a fine example ofwhat pleasant surprises Swim Club is bringing this Spring.‘
