SONG PICK: Dizzy – Swim
Three brothers Charlie, Alex and Mackenzie Spencer together with singer Katie Munshaw make up the Canadian four-piece Dizzy. “Swim”, their second single is an atmospheric, dreamy pop song which merges gentle guitar melodies with thick layers of synths. There is a hint of melancholy in their music, which is inspired by living in the suburbs of Oshawa, Ontario. Katie explains:
“Oshawa is dense. We all grew up in modern suburbia so there’s an arm’s length between my neighbor’s house and mine. Making music always stemmed from my being overly sensitive about everything, so when you’re that close to so many people you’re bound to meet the essential characters that screw you up enough to start writing about them. Oshawa introduced me to friendship and heartache and change while keeping me bored enough to sit at home and write about it.”
