Fire Swimmer (formerly known as Deni) is the electronic pop solo project of Deni Hlavinka (of The Western Den). Decisive, impactful, yet soft around the edges, Fire Swimmer’s music blurs the line between dark synth-driven electronica and tender alternative pop - creating a sound that is emphatic yet vulnerable. Her latest EP, “i was like a child” explores the spaces between doubt, introspective and the roaring explosion of self-actualization. She is layered, immediate and visceral - the result of over a decade of experience as a multi-instrumentalist, artist and producer. Fire Swimmer is both the tangled chaos of feeling in real-time — and the unraveling.
