Truth be told, I was ready to blog about Hazards of Swimming Naked just from the name alone.  It’s so absurd, especially since they play ambient instrumental tracks rather than frat-boy party punk/ska.

Hailing from Queensland, it doesn’t seem like these guys have been around all that long, but their music has an assured sense of maturity about it.  The music swims (no pun intended) in the same vein as acts like Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mogwai in their more unassuming moments, such as on the Zidane soundtrack.

Maybe not the greatest band to listen to when driving home late at night, but it’s sublime, relaxing music.
