He uploaded the song – which you can hear below – to Soundcloud yesterday [April 19].

According to Pecknold’s post, the song was originally intended for a short film, A Study In Time Travel, directed by his brother, Sean.

“Swimming” features Neal Morgan on percussion and was engineered by Gabe Wax. Aside from Pecknold, Morgan has played with Bill Callahan and Joanna Newsom.
