Where the Heaven Are We is the debut studio album by British indie rock band Swim Deep, released on 5 August 2013 on Chess Club Records, a subsidiary of RCA.

On the subject, Austin said, "We thought it was a long shot, but we’d just lost another drummer, so we asked Zach if he wanted to join our band, and he said yeah.

[9] Swim Deep recorded Where the Heaven Are We with producer Charlie Hugall, who has also worked with Florence and the Machine.

[22] El Hunt of DIY described the album as "cherry-picked nostalgia with a shimmering polish; fit for the more-hip-than-thou connoisseurs and the eager radio consumer alike".

Leedham praised such songs as "Honey", "King City", and "The Sea", but deemed "Red Lips I Know", "Soul Trippin", and "Stray" to be "pleasantly forgettable".

[16] NME's Barry Nicolson criticized the album's "lack of dynamism", but praised "She Changes The Weather" and hoped it would indicated a "more expansive, ambitious sound" to come.

[20] The Observer's Phil Mongredien praised King City but called the remainder of the album "utterly unremarkable filler".
