Jack’s Mannequin are back with a new single from their highly-acclaimed album, The Glass Passenger. “Swim” features lead singer Andrew McMahon’s trademark expressive piano playing in a song about fighting for the goodness in life at all costs. With music as his emotional release, McMahon was able to inject the songs on the album with an uplifting positivity that engages everyone he meets.

“I want to be able to relate to people when I write songs,” he says. “Part of what’s driven me to make music is this idea of connection; taking my experiences and writing about them honestly, but in such a way that someone in a completely different situation can still relate to them.”

Catch Jack’s Mannequin on tour now with special guests Matt Nathanson & Erin McCarley and this summer with The Fray beginning June 12th. Visit JacksMannequin.com for more info and listen to “Swim” below!
