Written as their latest single, "Someday We Will Dream About Today," The Sways share a collection of music that is personal and long-lasting. The song, the second single from their forthcoming debut EP, combines the earnestness of indie folk with the hook-driven breeziness of indie pop, resulting in a sound that hangs in the air like a memory you're not ready to relinquish.
The song has a warm, reflective quality. The instrumentation is fragile but multi-layered, providing ample room for emotion to blossom without ever sounding too polished. There's a tenderness to the way The Sways bubble up their sound, delicate acoustic textures that spread under the melody like branches, one gentle progression swaying, then receding, almost as if in time with the rhythm of remembering. It's music that beckons us to pause, breathe, and just take stock of the present before it zips through our fingers into the past.
"Someday We Will Dream About Today" suggests that the song is the product of reflection. It taps into that common human experience where our mundane times, those often overlooked, end up being precisely what we cherish most in the end. The Sways masterfully capture this feeling, crafting a composition that is both reflective and pristine at the same time. Their music serves as a canvas for you to create your own interpretation. As the second single off their upcoming self-titled EP, due out September 19, it's a perfect stepping stone between what's been shown and what's still unknown.
Featuring five tracks in all, the latest addition to their discography appears poised to continue where The Sways left off, layering raw emotion over considered songwriting. "Someday We Will Dream About Today" is both an assertion of identity and an invitation to come along. Now available on all major streaming platforms, the song serves as a welcome reminder of the exact reasons why indie folk and indie pop continue to resonate so deeply, and at their best, they echo our shared humanity. In doing so, The Sways not only showcase their vision for their craft, but also pave the way for a debut project that is sure to make a bold move.
