RCRD LBL

Richard Swift is a guy who puts on different figurative hats on a daily basis- constantly re-inventing himself- via new sounds, instruments, and films. Musically, besides the (hugely-praised) full-length "Dressed Up For The Letdown" last year, Swift released two side-projects this year Instruments Of Science and Technology "Music From The Films Of R. Swift" and a double EP (just out) called "Richard Swift as Onasis". 

To give you a taste of his multidimensionality, "Knee-High Boogie Blues" is a high energy rhythmic teaser - sans vocals- taking good hook pretty much as far as it will go- (i.e. in circles). Meanwhile, "Kisses From The Misses" is a soulful blues jam- the type you can snap and do-wop to, depending on your age. Enjoy.

SOUNDS LIKE: Jakob Dylan, Rufus Wainwright, Andrew Bird
