Water Colours is the debut studio album by the American electronica band, Swimming With Dolphins. It was released on May 13, 2011 on iTunes and in physical CD format on May 17, 2011.
On May 25, 2011, Swimming With Dolphins released an album trailer for the release on its YouTube channel.
In June, 2011, Austin Tofte did an interview with PupFresh.com about the album and Swimming With Dolphins in general.
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 album.
The album received overall positive reviews from multiple professional music sites, all agreeing that the album was catchy and full of "vibrant, sugary synthpop" along with "thoughtful lyrics". However, New Release Tuesday and Jesus Freak Hideout both pointed out a low point of the album being Tofte's one use of "hell" as a profanity in the song "Diplomat".
All tracks written by Austin Tofte.
