✧ Lyrics
Hey
I’m going overboard
The ocean made it’s call
And i’m what it’s looking for

Lets go
Lets see who swims best
I went rogue
Severed my life vest

You and I
Are one in the same
So why am I
Caught under the waves?
Drifting out
I wanted to be saved
So why are you
At the shore just the same?

Lets go
Lets see who swims best

Former Hero - Swims Best

Debut release from Experiment 637.

Experiment 637 is an electronic / indie / folk two-piece band from the UK, and was formed around the same time that both members were experiencing break-ups - in one case the abrupt end of a previous band, the other the end of a personal relationship.

Determined and focused on doing something positive, the friends began writing in the summer of 2019, and managed to play just one gig together that November before the pandemic put the brakes on their plans to continue writing together. However, over the following two years in short and intense bursts of collaboration between lockdowns, the duo completed their debut album ’Sleepwater' in late 2021 and are set to release this in September 2022.

Mickey tells us about the debut single:

"Plains was written and recorded in a day when we were finally able to get together during a gap between lockdowns. I awoke to beautiful sunshine and sketched out the basic idea on piano. Ronan came over mid-morning and we took the idea into our little studio. We tried (and failed!) at a Flaming Lips ‘Race For The Prize’ approach, settling on something more dreamy, glitchy and reminiscent of Beta Band or ‘Elephant Eyelash’ period Why?.

After recording the instruments, Ronan jammed out the lyrics on the sofa before heading towards ‘the good microphone’, nailing it in two takes. We added a bell, some low-budget orchestral stuff, drank wine and mixed it the next morning". 

Ronan added, "After almost 6 months of not being able to be in the same room together, this was a day that we won’t easily forget".
