RICHARD SWIFT 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Following the tragic loss of Richard Swift earlier this year, his posthumous album The Hex has arrived via American label Secretly Canadian (also home to Jens Lekman, Yoko Ono and Suuns). Swift was once quoted saying, "most of my recording techniques come from looking at photos on the inside of Sly & The Family Stone or Beatles LPs, or from watching 'Sympathy for the Devil'". Take in tracks like "Broken Finger Blues", "Dirty Jim" and "Babylon" and this comes all the more apparent, but it's the uniqueness in Swift's ways that make the music of the late artist remain singular. A truly memorable album from the dearly departed.
