Great Lake Swimmers return with a warm second album, Bodies and Minds, filled with songs of heartbreak, rural nostalgia, and the search for spiritual transcendence.
The album picks up where Great Lake Swimmers' critically-acclaimed 2003 debut left off, featuring gentle, thoughtful compositions and understated instrumentation, while also moving fluidly into alt-country pop territory with sweet harmonies, light orchestration, and even a few up-tempo numbers. (Think Mark Kozelek playing Neil Young, or the delicate Nick Drake delivered with the heart of Gram Parsons.)
