New release of SWIM.

‍

The Australian producer and artist SWIM has unveiled Dear Friend (Orchestral Suite),

A deluxe reworking of his acclaimed 2025 album Dear Friend. The new release transforms six standout tracks through sweeping orchestral arrangements, bringing a fresh and cinematic dimension to the original recordings.

Captured with a full orchestra in Budapest during autumn last year, the project pares the songs back to their emotional core, combining SWIM’s vocals with rich live string instrumentation. Featured tracks include You & Me, Get That Close, Everything You Need, Dear Friend, My Love, and Memories, each reimagined through a classical lens.

The release arrives shortly after the debut of Get That Close (Orchestral) and follows a milestone moment in SWIM’s career—a sold-out performance at the Sydney Opera House on June 5, 2026, where he performed alongside a 14-piece orchestra.
