The Atlantic Ocean
Picking up where last year's head-turning Ground Trouble Jaw EP left off, Richard Swift here continues his exploration of strutting, blue-eyed soul.
Singer-songwriter, lo-fi champion and sometime electronic experimentalist Richard Swift's latest melds some of his eclectic interests into a boyuant set.
Genre-hopping Minnesota-based pop auteur Richard Swift's The Atlantic Ocean is more of an "official" follow-up to 2007's Dressed Up for the Letdown than the double shot of Music from the Films of R/Swift (under the pseudonym Instruments of Science and Technology) and the cathartic but nearly unlistenable Richard Swift as Onasis.
Spry and creatively unmoored, Richard Swift’s The Atlantic Ocean breathes life into boilerplate piano-man song structures.
