Barry Can’t Swim releases their first track of 2025, titled ‘The Person You’d Like To Be.’

      Edinburgh-born DJ and producer Barry Can’t Swim returns with ‘The Person You’d Like To Be,’ marking his first new release of the year and, as stated in a press release, a preview of an upcoming larger project. This track features spoken-word vocals set against an industrial, somewhat suffocating beat and follows the success of Barry's highly praised 2023 debut album ‘When Will We Land?’—which received a nomination for the esteemed Mercury Prize. It pays tribute to the electronic music that influenced his musical preferences during his upbringing. Additionally, this release comes before the emerging artist's headlining performance at All Points East 2025, where he’ll be joined by fellow acts such as Confidence Man, club sensation Shygirl, and more.
