"Black Swan" is the third studio album by British indie rock band Athlete, released in 2009 on CD format. The album showcases a matured sound with anthemic melodies and introspective lyrics, reflecting the band's evolution since their debut. Standout tracks like "Superhuman Touch" and "Black Swan Song" highlight Athlete's knack for blending heartfelt storytelling with soaring instrumentals. Released under Fiction Records, a renowned label known for supporting innovative artists such as The Cure and Snow Patrol, this album continues Fiction?s tradition of fostering creative talent within alternative music. Athlete rose to prominence with their Mercury Prize-nominated debut "Vehicles & Animals," followed by chart-topping success with singles like "Wires." Their unique blend of emotional depth and catchy hooks has earned them critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.
