Someone Who Isn’t Me (aka S.W.I.M.) and the synthwave, proto punk stained "Dance With You" (Official Video)

"don't you forgive me when you really like me"

Someone Who Isn’t Me (aka S.W.I.M.) is a new music project by three women from Athens, Greece, Loo, Maria & Gina and the video for their latest track Dance With You mines the world of the 1969 Sydney Pollack film "They Shoot Horses, Don't They", a sort of noir drama about desperate people trying to win a depression era dance marathon. S.W.I.M infuses the track with dark synth lines, hand clap effects, and a wonderfully art askew vocal performance. The heaviness of the track is wonderfully 80's new wave-esque and the self aware vox, spins in a art punk / proto punk way. The whole affair feels wide eyed with a cool dangerous vibe. An appropriate dark landscape for S.W.I.M as the house band at the dance-a-thon.
