Bathtub Swimming Shares New Single ‘Tonight’
Hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, multi-instrumentalist dynamic duo Bathtub Swimming warm listeners with their captivating vocals and wide-ranging sound.
Bathtub Swimming returns with their brand-new single ‘Tonight’. They bring in a bright and rhythmic production combined with introspective and original lyrics to form an eclectic and unique experience inspired by their most admired genres.
‘Tonight’ is infused with dreamy and empowering vibes. The genre-blend of ambient-pop and lounge sounds uses electric piano, drums, synthetic bass, electric guitar, and vocals in the production.
The original plan for the song was to have a slow-moving pace, melancholic keys, and a bass that built anticipation before launching into an evocative romantic scene. The song’s lyrics describe someone waiting for a buddy or a date to arrive for an outing that has been mutually scheduled. The protagonist departs the scene in a self-realizing moment that she is in charge of her night and chooses to enjoy a good night on the town by herself after realising she was stood up. She takes the disappointment of being left behind and turns it into personal strength.
On the song, Bathtub Swimming says, “‘Tonight’ showcases solitary enjoyment and self-empowerment.”
Bathtub Swimming’s musical prowess is on full display in ‘Tonight’, which also highlights the multi-instrumentalist dynamic duo’s rising passion, devotion to artistic progress, and musical talents. Their most recent release, which complements their whole musical record to date, demonstrates their artistry.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
