Ambient Blue is the debut release and first EP by the American electronica band, Swimming With Dolphins. It was released on September 2, 2008.[1]

In September 2013, Tofte did an interview with Chris Herlihy's weekly syndicated radio show and talked about the band in general, which included a look back at the EP.[2]

Background

The EP was produced by Adam Young.[3] The song "Silhouettes", from the album, features guest vocals from Breanne Düren.[4] In addition to the main release, the band also put out a cover version of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" as B-sides single to the EP.[5]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

Ambient Blue was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. AbsolutePunk stated, "It's obvious they have the ear for lyrical strength, great vocal application, and strong production."[6] Ben Cardenas of Jesus Freak Hideout called the EP, "inventive, catchy, and lengthy." He described the song "Everything's A Miracle" as "a fun dance song" and stated that the track is the highlight of the album. However, he criticized the track "Sunset 1989" for its sloppy, awkward chorus and called the song, "the weakest link on the album."[7]

Despite having no chart success, the EP managed to sell over 9,000 copies on iTunes.[3]
