Swimming With Dolphins is an American electronica band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band formed in 2008 by Austin Tofte and Owl City frontman Adam Young.[1] The name of the band was derived, according to Tofte, from "some old Jacques Cousteau documentaries from the 80s".[2] The group is fronted by Tofte, while Young performed synths and programming for the act and additionally served as the producer of the group.[3]
For the act, Tofte and Young created trademark outfits. Tofte took on the appearance of a submariner wearing a classic scuba suit and Young donned a pilot's mask (which would later become Sky Sailing's trademark look).[1]
