Recently, Barry Can’t Swim announced his second album ‘Loner’, which will arrive on July 11 via Ninja Tune – pre-save / pre-order here.
Speaking about his second album in a press release, the DJ shared: “If my first album was a collage of all the music I loved and was inspired by growing up, then this album is the most authentic expression I could offer of myself and my life over the past year.”
It follows the DJ’s spot on the BBC‘s Sound Of 2025 poll; after being longlisted alongside Chappell Roan, Kneecap and Ezra Collective, Barry placed third in the shortlist. He called his placement “a mad journey”, telling BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders: “You guys have been there properly since day one, right from Introducing. So yeah, man – it feels good.”
Chappell Roan was eventually crowned the winner of the Sound Of 2025 poll.
