Newly established Brooklyn-based independent label, Swoon City Music, announces its first artist signing with Blond Ambition, the solo project from Ex Cops' founder Brian Harding, and a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline. The first track from Blond Ambition's upcoming 2017 record was recently premiered on The Fader, in which they state, "We're all pining for the bright, cheerful days of summer in ways we couldn't have imagined even a week ago, and... Blond Ambition's gently funky psych-folk is the ideal match for 8mm footage of surfers, skaters, and sunbathers taking in some coastal beauty."
