There's a paradox to
's gleaming track "Upswing," a song that manages to lift you up with one eye towards the ground. "Upswing is a celebration of the contrasts of life," says the Brooklyn-based trio's frontwoman, Naomi Almquist. "It's about understanding life as one continuous motion, where the highs and lows are just as pivotal as the moments in between. It's a reminder to find beauty in every experience, or at the very least, wisdom."
It makes sense then, that the video for the latest single off the group's debut self-titled EP shows a girl diving slow-motion into a neglected pool, just as Almquist sings "But I always rise" and the song erupts into its expansive chorus. "We wanted the 'Upswing' video to be a visual that emphasizes the individual experience," Almquist says, "Illustrating the ebb and flow of life and highlighting the triumphs that ultimately result from our struggles or great leaps of faith."
