Swift, Richard
4 Hits & A Miss - The Essential Richard Swift
Richard Swift's sprawling, imaginative catalog is as full of stone-cold classics as it is one-take experimental gems, making it tricky to introduce to newcomers. '4 Hits & A Miss,' curated by Secretly Canadian, offers a 47-minute, 14-song introduction to his genius, including the previously unreleased track 'Common Law' from 2012. Swift's talent was unparalleled - described by Kevin Morby as a musical architect who could craft "chapels of sound" with minimal tools, much like the studios he built in Oregon's woods. His work continues to awe and inspire, even after his untimely passing in 2018. '4 Hits & A Miss' serves as both an entry point for new listeners and a treasure trove for longtime fans, showcasing the timeless artistry of the late, great Richard Swift.
