Last July, Jim Swim
released the five song
EP In It With You
(which he fully produced).
Following that solo drop,
he released a stream
of five loose (and often
collaborative) tracks.
Now, one year later,
Swim returns with yet another
cohesive EP: Soft and Gold.
Fully produced by beatmaker
Tyler Stück, the EP shows
Swim stepping away
from the boards and focusing
entirely on raps. He delivers
autobiographical, insightful,
dense messages with ease
and honesty over the
sample-driven bumps
and laid back instrumentals.

If you had any doubts
about Swim's lyricism,
all you need to do is press play
on the tongue-twisting
introductory track. Minimal
and chill, scraping along
like crackling vinyl,
the bar-heavy project
maneuvers like wind
beneath a cloudy sky.
Hazy and complete
with original art from
Jack Olevitch, this EP
by Swim and Stück
is a worthy companion
to guide you through
the summer. Late night,
driving anywhere, or on
a long walk, just you
and your headphones.
