The Names – Swimming. Label: Les Disques Du Crépuscule – TWI065, Les Disques Du Crépuscule – TWI065. Les Disques Du Crépuscule – TWI 065. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album. 1982 full-length album by this Belgian band. Their music can be described as melancholic sounding postpunk/wave with a rather desolate atmosphere. Listening tip: "The fire", one of their darkest songs. Reply Notify me 6 Helpful.
Otherwise, the songs risk losing their tether and dissipate. Along with another key 7" release that can be found on the Spectators of Life compilation, the bonus tracks show that the Names were much better at the singles game
