Barry Can’t Swim’s Continued Success: The Scottish producer has maintained a rapid ascent since the release of his 2023 debut LP, When Will We Land?-a project that earned prestigious nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, the Scottish Album of the Year, and a BRIT Award. Building on that foundation, he recently unveiled his latest studio album, Loner, via the renowned Ninja Tune label, further cementing his reputation for blending intricate melodies with club-ready production.
