Night Swimming

Fancy an evening of hazy guitars, dreamy melodies and a darker edge? Bath-based five-piece Night Swimming blend dream-pop and shoegaze with the shadowy grooves of trip-hop, building immersive songs around Meg Jones’ vocals and layered instrumentation. Their 2026 EP Melting, Sometimes Bleeding takes that atmospheric sound further, with Opal Mag and Halt also joining the line-up.
