Squirrel Flower's music is ethereal and warm, brimming over with emotional depth but with a steely eyed bite and confidence in it's destination. The band on 'I Was Born Swimming' plays with delicate intention, keeping the arrangements natural and light while Williams' lead guitar is often fiercely untethered. The album was tracked live, with few overdubs, at The Rare Book Room Studio in New York City with producer Gabe Wax (Adrienne Lenker, Palehound, Cass McCombs). The musicians were selected by Wax and folded themselves into the songs effortlessly.
