Pop alternative rock band The Unlikely Candidates are featured on legendary band Dirty Heads' new track "Celebrate." The HEAVY-produced track has already amassed over 117,000 streams on Spotify alone since its release less than a week ago. The song is the latest release from Dirty Heads' upcoming album, SWIM TEAM, releasing on October 13th. The lyrically impactful track lays over a mellow beat, for a journey filled listening experience. This addictive earworm is now available across all digital service platforms.

"A year ago on the road, I started talking with Jared [from Dirty Heads] about how strange life on the road is; how you get used to partying all the time, but some people go off the edge. It is rad that we get to travel around the states making people happy, but also tough to leave the ones we are close to at home. I had no idea that later we would end up on a song together that is exactly about what we discussed-it's a crazy twist of fate. 'Celebrate' has a swagger and larger than life air to it, but it also has this big sentimentality to it-it's a powerful song. We are both saying the same thing in our different ways and it's cool to get both sides of that feeling on the track," says The Unlikely Candidates frontman Kyle Morris on the track.

Arms and Sleepers, composed of Boston duo Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic, revealed itself to the world almost a decade ago. In that time, the group has put out a total of 18 releases, collaborated with dozens of prominent artists (Tom Brosseau of Fat Cat Records, Philip Jamieson of Caspian, Ben Shepard of Uzi & Ari) and worked on numerous remixes (Caspian, Helios, Ef, Tape Deck Mountain, and others). The project has taken Mirza Ramic, the live performer of the duo, across North America, Europe and Asia over the past 8 years, attracting worldwide attention and garnering widespread appreciation from all corners of the industry.

2014 marks the beginning of a new chapter for Arms and Sleepers, with the release of their first new album in over three years – entitled Swim Team – scheduled for October 28th via Fake Chapter Records. Building on the ambient sound of their previous work while taking their music in a fundamentally new direction, Swim Team sees the duo taking bold creative steps and coming into full focus. “The album is definitely a departure from our previous releases – it has more to the point, concise compositions with a lot of focus on beats and different synth sounds,” says Ramic. And songs like Swim Team and Hurry Slowly perfectly embody the band’s new and amped-up sound.

Inspired by childhood obsessions in the 80s, Swim Team draws from instrumental hip- hop, R&B-influenced instrumentation and a wide range of electronic music to capture nostalgic moments. Despite a relatively short running time of 35 minutes, the album manages to deliver a wide range of intense emotions through its tapestry of intricate melodies and upbeat rhythms. More importantly, the new album fulfills the longing we have had for new music since the release of the band’s critically-acclaimed 2011 album The Organ Hearts. Swim Team is a compelling album characterized by a beautiful blend of lush textures, complex beats, and subtle harmonies which illustrate the duo’s growth and pursuit of invention and reinvention – becoming their most dynamic album yet.
