Swym is the recording project of Scottish writer and recording artist, Nassif Younes who has announced the release of his debut EP titled ‘Your Distraction’ from which he shares the first single, ‘Up To You’ out October 13 via Swym Records.

‘Up To You’ is a catchy anthemic indie pop rock song with a nice splash of psych prog that is delivered with plenty of confidence, it’s not only good on the ears but with it’s so catch it will have you humming or singing it all day. You can listen to the track below.

On Swym’s debut EP, Younes had this to say: “It wasn’t really meant to be a concept record. The songs were chosen from about 30 that I’d recorded and it was just at the end when I noticed there was a bit of a theme running through the whole thing. I was writing a lot about the different bubbles that people live in and the way we distract ourselves from the harsh realities of the world. It’s about things like apathy, indulgence, consumerism, social echo chambers… things we use as distractions. I didn’t want to make it sound too dark so there’s a fair bit of tongue in cheek in the lyrics and producing the songs myself meant it could have that playful, naive sound too.”
