Texas indie-rock quartet Swimming With Bears reflects creativity and resilience on formidable anthem “Patient Disguise,” weaving pain and loneliness into an air of euphoria and vibrance.
Juxtaposing contrasting emotions with ease, the track is rooted in the high octane stylings of gripping basslines, sturdy drum beats, lush guitars and soaring vocals that conjure up emotive imagery.
The track is elevated by accompanying visuals, directed by Kevin C. McDermo, which captures the prevailing sense of loneliness and desire for connection with eerie, dimly lit yet vivid shots.
Speaking of the track, written by all four band members, they say, “Patient Disguise began as a demo track we recorded during the COVID lockdown on an old computer. After sitting on the shelf for a while, we pulled it up in the studio during a brainstorming session with our producer. The result is a fully mastered version that has become a standout song at live concerts. Its evolution, turning a moment of uncertainty into one of our most celebrated tracks.”
Known for their passionate and profound musicality Swimming With Bears have steadily carved out space for themselves amid rock royalty in the music scene.
