Barry Can’t Swim – About To Begin

Barry Can’t Swim continues his impressive momentum with “About to Begin”, the track serves as another preview from his upcoming second album ‘Loner’, which drops July 11th via Ninja Tune, and it’s already becoming a live favorite before most people have even heard the studio version.

“About to Begin” wastes no time living up to its title, launching immediately into uptempo percussion and repeated peak energy structures designed for maximum crowd impact. The production builds through stacked rhythmic crescendos, creating tension cycles that keep audiences on edge while delivering the payoff they crave. The track makes perfect sense when considering Barry’s extensive touring schedule.

The timing of “About to Begin” feels strategic—it’s music designed to soundtrack those exact moments when festival crowds are ready to lose themselves completely.
