Some voices in indie just hit home — think Angel Olsen’s distinct, powerful lull or Aldous Harding’s soft, colorful croon. Melbourne singer/songwriter Maple Glider’s vocals have the same effect. The artist born Tori Zietsch’s new single, “Swimming,” taken from her forthcoming debut To Enjoy Is The Only Thing, is a twangy, romantic ballad that plays like a moving vignette from the past. The lyrics are fragmented ephemera like photos — “Driving through the Deep South/ Mountains and red wine” — and Zietsch’s narration is soaring and wise.

Zietsch said of the song:

This was meant to be a love song, but by the time I finished it, it kind of predetermined a break-up. I’d been experiencing some of the most beautiful places I’d ever been in, and falling out of love was very confusing. I was trying to force myself to be happy and in love, but I was far from home, and really lonely. It made sense to record the song after the break-up. I kind of felt like I was able to handle the sincerity of it then.
