The Swimmer

The Swimmer is the Tren Brothers' contribution to Western Vinyl's portrait series. For The Swimmer the Tren Brothers created four musical selections and four videos, one to accompany each audio track. If you're familiar with The Dirty Three, Boxhead Ensemble, Bonnie Prince Billy's Get On Jolly, Cat Power's Moon Pix, or any of the other recordings Mick Turner and Jim White have contributed to, you're probably already familiar with their unique ability to lull and seduce listeners. Together Mick Turner and Jim White have used music, film, and still images to create a beautiful portrait of a character known only as The Swimmer.
