Night Swims is a project founded by Michael Thomas. Recently relocating from San Diego, and after successfully playing a plethora of shows throughout California with bands such as Pink Mountaintops, as well as releasing their debut full length album Idle/Wild to critical praise, Michael has structured a new lineup of the band in Chicago. The group consists of Cayden Hunter, Carter Opsahl, Austin Butler, Christian Dawson (Tinkerbelles, Wedding Dress, Gypsyblood), and Michael Thomas. The music, can be easily classified as Indie Rock though it blends the genres of Shoegaze, Psych Rock, Brit Pop, and Post Punk. The follow up LP to their debut is currently in the finishing stages, and will be released this fall on November 8, 2024. The second album “Borderline Colors” will continue with experimental soundscapes and reflects the evolution in Michael’s songwriting. This new iteration of the lineup also brings a new eagerness to the live sound as he has expanded to 3 guitars in addition to the rhythm section, offering a lush wall of sound to accompany the thoughtful lyrics and methodically hooked in choruses.
