Someone Who Isn’t Me (aka S.W.I.M.) is a new music project by three women in Athens, Loo, Maria & Gina.
They love analogue sounds and toy synths, chaotic guitars and fake strings, female vocals and off-beat rhythms. They wrote and performed the end titles song Never Find It for Athina Rachel Tsangari's film, Chevalier (Best Film Award, BFI London Film Festival). Their first 7-inch single Stop & Remember was released by Inner Ear Records.
In 2017, they played their first live gig at the Winter Plissken Festival in Athens, before heading to Austin as a showcase artist at SXSW.
Their second 7-inch single "Gomenaki" was released in May 2018, by Amour Records. The music video directed by Alkis Papastathopoulos and produced by Haos Film had more than 100K views in just one month. The song and the video were acclaimed by the press, Greek radio stations and fans as the ultimate indie hit of the summer. It won the 2019 Sound Award for best music video at the Indie Memphis Film Festival.
Their debut album "Dance With You" has been released on February 9 by Amour Records.
In May 2019 they released their new music video for "Pinku" directed by Alkistis Terzi.
They also wrote and performed live, two newly conceived soundtracks for the legendary silent films, "Pandora’s box" (1929) for the Goethe Institute & "Astero" (1929) for the French Institute.
In May 2019 they won the best music award at the Mad about Arts by Campari Awards.
They performed live at the MIL Lisboa showcase and in August 2019 at the Berlin based music festival Pop Kultur.
They released a cover on Pet Shop Boys’ Love etc. The song was released by Martin Hossbach on his Martin Hossbach cover label, for Chris Lowe’s 60th birthday anniversary.
"Dance With You" music video was officially selected at FICA, Austral International Film Festival, in Argentina.
Their latest (anti) summer single & music video "SUMMER IN ATHENS" was just released (July 2020) and they are currently mixing their second album titled HEARTBREAKER.
Also, they released two brand new music videos, "Girl's On Fire" & "Graveyards"
