Richard Swift as Onasis

Richard Swift keeps his chameleon tendencies neatly organized by utilizing the age-old art of the alias, a trajectory that (whether it's meant to or not) helps to protect listeners who may be unwilling to follow him out of his familiar lo-fi/chamber pop disguise and into more challenging projects like 2007's ambient Instruments of Science and Technology and the following year's garage rock clean-out Richard Swift as Onasis.

Like an old shoebox recently salvaged from your eccentric Great Aunt’s attic, Richard Swift as Onassis is a mostly random collection of oddities.
