New Tunes: Swale, "Middlesex"

OK, so Swale's "Middlesex" isn't really a "new tune," per se. For one thing, it was released by the Burlington art-rockers last October on their most recent full-length, A Small Arrival. That's not even considering that the record was some seven-plus years in the making, meaning "Middlesex" is … um, actually a pretty old song. However, the video for the song — that, my friends, is brand spanking new! Swale just released it this week, although judging by the gray light and foliage, it's a safe bet they started filming last fall. Whatever. Much like A Small Arrival, we think the "Middlesex" video was more than worth the wait. Enjoy.
