"King City" is the debut single by indie pop band Swim Deep, released in May, 2012, through Chess Club Records. It was re-released in July, 2013, on Chess Club for their debut album Where the Heaven Are We. A music video was made to accompany the single.

Release

"King City" was originally released on 14 May 2012 backed with "Beach Justice", on Chess Club Records on seven-inch vinyl. It is now considerably hard single to find, as are many of Swim Deeps single. For the release of Where the Heaven Are We, they re-released "King City", again, on seven-inch vinyl, backed with a stripped version of the song.[1] iTunes made the single their single of the week in August and it was available as a free download.

Music videos

A video for "King City" was made to promote the single. It features Swim Deep wandering about their hometown, directed by The Marshall Darlings.[2] For the re-release of the single, a new video was made which features the band driving about in the desert. The video ends with the band going to the sea back in Birmingham.[3]
