Oklahoma City-based band Swim Fan impress with their hooky single “Doin’ Alright,” meshing vocal yearning with an array of colorful synths, funk-tinged rhythms, and melodic guitar work. Patiently unfolding verses drive to a wholly satiating, title-referencing chorus that exudes a catching sentimentality following the contemplative suaveness of the initial rollout.
A funky bass hop and vibrant vocals follow a playful intro, where quick guitar licks and colorful synths converge melodically. The airy vocals fit well within the lush pop enamoring, with the “I thought I needed you in my life,” vocal rise playing with smooth-as-butter entrancement. This hook delivers replay-inducing qualities, as does the “try to forget you,” bridge past the two-minute turn. The hazy synths and yearning vocals thoroughly compel here. “Doin’ Alright” is a stellar, catchy production from Swim Fan.
