Citing Cyndi Lauper, The Cure, and Culture Club among their influences, Swimming Girls have delivered their dazzlingly 80s-indebted debut single. Mixed by Marta Salogni, who’s previously collaborated with artists such as MIA, Sampha, and Shura, “Tastes Like Money” is a sweepingly cinematic slice of nostalgia that glistens gold. With the intoxicating vocals of lead singer Vanessa Gimenez gliding over blissful waves of shoegaze, it’s an unflinchingly ambitious first offering that’s packed full of the kind of irrepressible exhilaration that comes from being young, lucky, and in love.
