Electronica's Swimming With Dolphins releases debut album

TOOTH & NAIL Records have released the full length debut album by ambient electronica singer/songwriter Austin Tofte, better known as Swimming With Dolphins. 'Water Colours' was written and/or recorded at various places while on the road, from urban Minneapolis to the Minnesota countryside. It was produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, The Almost) as well as Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (Cartel, Mayday Parade). Said Tofte, "It was just a long process, and quite honestly, probably longer than it should have been. You start second-guessing things you have too much time to work on. I'm not going to lie - some days are really trying times where you just want to pull the plug - but you just have to keep positive and say, 'This is going to get done.' I have an awesome family, friends and fans that really kept it alive; the days you feel like you're not going to have the energy to finish it, you get that message you need or a phone call that can really help you pull through. Despite being stranded in a cabin by myself, it was still an interactive, intimate experience as much as it could be, and I think that's just what I needed." CR
