Melburnian folk rocker Jim Lawrie is releasing his new album, Slacker Of The Year, next Friday and we're super stoked to premiere his new single, Swimming In The Rain, today.

With a seaside music video that'll remind you of your parents' home videos when you were young, Lawrie says, "I wrote a song about a summer of love, a loss of innocence, and the dance of lustful confusion between two friends. It reminded me a lot of 1988's classic Hollywood romp, Computer Beach Party

"As I set out to reimagine this timeless masterpiece to the tune of my future hit single, Swimming In The Rain, it dawned on me that once I had cut out all the nudie scenes there was only just enough footage left to scrape together a 4 minute video clip. Here are those glorious 4 minutes."
