Swimming With Dolphins

Minnesota synthpop duo Swimming With Dolphins (SWD) is the project of producer Austin Tofte, the man behind the Owl City project. SWD is feel-good pop music with a heavy nod to electronic music pioneers, both subtle and bombastic, from Boards of Canada to M83. The group cites nautical influences as a major factory in their music, one song even named after Jacques Cousteau. The group's debut album came out in May of 2011.
