— Released 11th July 2025

Barry Can’t Swim - one of the most exciting electronic artists in the world - announces his highly anticipated new album ‘Loner’, out 11th July on Ninja Tune. Alongside the announcement Barry shares a taste of what's to come on ‘Loner’ with club-ready single “Different” - a heady slice of electronic euphoria which has become a staple fan-favourite in the Edinburgh born producer’s enigmatic performances. 

Throughout ‘Loner’ we see Barry Can’t Swim navigate and explore the world he’s found himself in, a highly personal album that asks profound questions of its creator and his audience. Informed by the staggering success of Barry’s live shows around the world, 'Loner' remains anchored to his roots both as a grounded human being and a progressive, ever-evolving artist.

“"If my first album was a collage of all the music I loved and was inspired by growing up, then this album is the most authentic expression I could offer of myself and my life over the past year” Barry comments.
