The Hex
“After singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and indie-rock uber-producer Richard Swift died in July, his family announced, among other things, that he had been working on new music, that said new music had been planned for release in November, and that they hoped to share it with the world sooner than that. Given the typical timeline for getting an album out into the world via an indie label,”
The Hex
“The first thing to make clear about ‘The Hex’ is that it isn’t some posthumous grab-bag of off-cuts and half-finished ideas; this third and final album by Richard Swift was seen through to its genuine conclusion, and was ready for release before his passing in July. And yet, in the best possible way, it does feel like a smorgasbord of everything that defined the man’s brilliance, as it crashes gid”
The Hex
“On the final and best album from the acclaimed producer and overlooked singer/songwriter, a new intensity and urgency line even the most upbeat songs.”
The Hex
“Richard Swift's final album is testament to a great talent taken too soon”
Dressed Up For the Letdown
“Secretly Canadian's lovable schlub returns with a more lushly-produced set of songs, equally marked by hopeless romanticism and bouts of despair.”
The Novelist
“Secretly Canadian combines and reissues two self-released mini-albums from this promising bedroom auteur.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
