Animals That Swim were a musical group formed in 1989 in
London, UK by brothers Hugh Barker (guitar) and Hank Starrs
(voice and drums). The group's line-up eventually also
included a third brother, Al Barker (guitar), plus Del
Crabtree on trumpet. The group's bassists were Charlie Luciano
(original line-up), then Crabtree, Dave Harris (1991), Lenie
Mets (1991-3), Anthony Coote (1993-6) and Terry De Castro
(2000-1).
Animals That Swim released their first single, "King Beer" in
1992 on their own Beachheads In Space label, but came to wider
attention with their next two singles, "Roy" (which took the
form of an imaginary conversation with the ghost of Roy
Orbison) and "50 Dresses". The group won critical acclaim for
their mixture of "slice of life" lyrics and magic realism, and
their distinctive use of the trumpet as a lead instrument.
This is their first album.
