Review: In The Half Light by Swim Surreal, co-written and produced by Zero 7, is an eclectic and transportive listening experience featuring often woozy, exuberant and summery electronics. Standout tracks include 'Masquerade,' which boasts a lush atmosphere featuring vocalist Lou Stone, 'Exile', which unfurls a hypnotic ambient hum, adding to the album's lush, ambient sound and 'The Crowd,' a chill-out track with light house tempo and smooth, sunny beach electronica vibes, and "Bloom," with r&b-tinged vocals and yacht electronica sound. Swim Surreal's debut album takes listeners on a journey through its nine tracks, each telling a tale that began in the half light and, somehow, resides there still. This collaboration with Zero 7 offers some smooth new music to relax and get away to.
