Editorial Reviews

Although Swimming With Dolphins hails from the chilly climate of Minnesota. Front man, Austin Tofte has created a sound with their music that is surprisingly warm and upbeat. Formed in 2008, Swimming With Dolphins released the Ambient Blue EP (production genius of Adam Young / Owl City) later that year to critical acclaim. Since then, Swimming With Dolphins has toured the country with the likes of Owl City, Lydia and Kill Paradise. He has won over countless fans with his ambient electronica pop that speaks to fans of all ages and backgrounds. Deriving his inspiration from the ocean and fond childhood memories of America's largest lakes. One can't listen to his music without smiling from ear to ear. The band crafted their album in Seattle, WA with help from producer Aaron Sprinkle and in Atlanta, GA with the help of producers Zack Odom and Ken Mount.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Palette Is Even Brighter In Water Colours
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2011

First off, I'd like to say that I'm a huge fan of SWD. From their 5-track EP "Ambient Blue," I fell in love with their unique spin on the "Owl City sound" (I do believe that AB was produced by Adam Young.) I would even say that from their first EP, I liked them far above Owl City.
That said, when I started Water Colours, I felt underwhelmed. It didn't really have any moments like in my favorite track on AB, "Everything's a Miracle." It was a decent album, but not really great. Then I heard the last song "Good Times." Wow, is that song awesome. I gave Water Colours another listen and it was then I realized: the album is fantastic. It really had to grow on me. Ambient Blue immediately hits you in the face with it's greatness, but Water Colours has to work it's way up. It's a wonderful Sophomore effort, and as a whole even better than their original EP. I hope these guys get the attention they deserve. Listen to it, love it, share it. These guys will go far.

(If anybody is wondering, some of the best songs on the album are "Diplomat," "Jacques Cousteau," and "Good Times." All the songs on the album are great, and I would strongly discourage picking out single tracks.)

I really love the older music of Owl City for a lot of reasons and music from Swimming With Dolphins is extremely similar (in a good way). I certainly enjoy the newer albums from Owl City/Adam Young too, but the old ones have a special charm and warmth in their production and lyrics. Nobody else I have listened to replicates that as comfortably as Adam Tofte with his Swimming With Dolphins project and although he has been really slow in producing additional music since this Water Colours album this album is a real treat to listen to in my opinion. Tracks like Water Colors and Holiday are reminiscent of the upbeat feel on Silhouettes from the Ambient Blue EP. Good Times bring in a little good natured rap like Owl City's Alligator Sky and Happiness brings a more serious tone to an otherwise cheerful and light sounding album. I feel like the sound of this album is more dance oriented than the early Owl City Albums but not as dance oriented as the Midsummer Station and on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic debut album from the SWD crew
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
I originally heard about Swimming with Dolphins from their connection to Owl City, and the first song I heard of theirs was 'Silhouettes' from their EP, 'Ambient Blue'. Ambient Blue quickly became one of my most played CDs, and although I haven't finished listening to Water Colours yet, they certainly don't disappoint. I would really recommend any of their stuff to fans of Owl City. Owl City's music tends to focus on clever/witty lyrics, whereas SWD's music feels more focused on the sound of the actual music to me. Can't wait for a UK tour (really hoping they do one) and any music videos they do :D

ミネソタのエレクトロエモバンドの１ｓｔ。そこまでエレクトロに力を入れてはなく、あくまでメロディの良さを生かした作りをしているし女性Ｖｏの挿入も効果的。時に叙情的になるメロも魅力だ。メロディ派は是非聴いて欲しいしこれでドラマ性とメリハリが出てきたら相当凄いバンドになりそう"
