It is, somehow, everyone's beloved local club, that one grimy place where bands become favorite bands, and favorite bands deliver all-time sets. If the sound is imperfect it's because you are so close you are somehow inside it, small and sweaty, Alice in Wonderlanding through this speaker wire or that drum head. It shouldn't translate to tape, but here we are. Running through all of Swift's tunes is a certain agitation - a fidgetiness, a restlessness. It's clearer than ever now, over two years after Swift's passing, that he used his music to let a little pressure out of his tire, and nowhere is that truer than when it is about being alive and about being dead. In fact, Even Your Drums Will Die opens, unbelievably, with a harmonica - with the sound of Swift's breath making music. He sings \"I wish I was dead \/ most of the time \/ but I don't really mean it\" and your breath catches. He sings \"I'm alive \/ I'm alive \/ I'm alive \/ so tell my daughters not to cry\" and you want to grab the song or the air in your fists and shake it. It should be noted that the \"Ballad of Milton Feher\" nods to all this, it's namesake coming from the professional dancer and director of the Milton Feher School of Dance and Relaxation, who taught his students to release their \"habits of tension.\" Swift named his Secretly Canadian debut 'Walking Without Effort' after one of Feher's instructions and the song dedicated to him feels like skeleton key to Swift's oeuvre, a clear look into the wild wheels spinning inside his big old artist noggin. And on the flipside is \"Lady Luck\". The classic. The revived ghost of a lost 45 that never existed, or maybe always did, but that only Richard Swift could make real. Even Your Drums Will Die is one of those records you can't absorb fast enough, tempting you to shove the whole thing into your mind at once, to jump around and gorge on little pieces of songs: riffs and one-liners and Swift's unmistakable Ooooohs. If you know these songs, you will find them set alight here. If you don't, Even Your Drums Will Die is an incomparable snapshot of both art and artist. It is a genie, a real one, let loose from the lamp with Richard Swift's explosive energy, imagination and mischief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nFormat \/ \u003cstrong\u003eLP \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1\/29\/2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalog \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSELY-420\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e656605042015\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Swift\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSecretly Canadian\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33024331513917,"sku":"POP-S-656605042015","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/2eeebe69c11b22f7ba8702ef326ef9bd.jpg?v=1611892394"},{"product_id":"richard-swift-dressed-up-for-the-letdown-white-vinyl","title":"Richard Swift - Dressed Up For the Letdown [White Vinyl]","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-main\" class=\"col-md-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-product-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\" id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Swift has confidently composed yet another original masterpiece; employing an archaic attitude of tempered restraint on a fresh collection of ten songs, without appearing shamelessly retro or kitschy. Playing a vast majority of the instruments on \"Dressed Up\" himself, by virtue Swift has created something that is characteristically his. And considering his rough-around-the- edges exterior, one could rightly assume that Swift desires the listener to accept him as an ordinary honest man with some honest songs - unmasked blemishes and all. Yet when one engages with Swift on this narrow-road-less-traveled, one immediately ignores the subtle imperfections shadowed by the all-consuming white light of well-crafted pop songs in an analog heaven. In effect he's saying, \"Just listen to my songs... The riffraff in the background is inconsequential.\" Sure Swift... whatever you say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e09\/03\/2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSC-133\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e656605013336\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Swift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecretly Canadian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39395057696829,"sku":"POP-S-656605013336","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/c28f8c05.jpg?v=1630444142"},{"product_id":"richard-swift-ground-trouble-jaw-6913197","title":"Richard Swift - Ground Trouble Jaw on Secretly Canadian Ltd RSD 2015 Sealed","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVINYL CONDITION: Sealed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCOVER CONDITION: Sealed (minor corner wear and ringwear visible under shrink)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTES: RSD 2015 limited pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecords are graded using the Goldmine system, shown below for reference:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSealed\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJacket sealed in shrink wrap or other original packaging.

In fact, Even Your Drums Will Die opens, unbelievably, with a harmonica - with the sound of Swift's breath making music. He sings \"I wish I was dead \/ most of the time \/ but I don't really mean it\" and your breath catches. He sings \"I'm alive \/ I'm alive \/ I'm alive \/ so tell my daughters not to cry\" and you want to grab the song or the air in your fists and shake it. It should be noted that the \"Ballad of Milton Feher\" nods to all this, it's namesake coming from the professional dancer and director of the Milton Feher School of Dance and Relaxation, who taught his students to release their \"habits of tension.\" Swift named his Secretly Canadian debut 'Walking Without Effort' after one of Feher's instructions and the song dedicated to him feels like skeleton key to Swift's oeuvre, a clear look into the wild wheels spinning inside his big old artist noggin. And on the flipside is \"Lady Luck\". The classic. The revived ghost of a lost 45 that never existed, or maybe always did, but that only Richard Swift could make real. Even Your Drums Will Die is one of those records you can't absorb fast enough, tempting you to shove the whole thing into your mind at once, to jump around and gorge on little pieces of songs: riffs and one-liners and Swift's unmistakable Ooooohs. If you know these songs, you will find them set alight here. If you don't, Even Your Drums Will Die is an incomparable snapshot of both art and artist. It is a genie, a real one, let loose from the lamp with Richard Swift's explosive energy, imagination and mischief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nFormat \/ \u003cstrong\u003eLP \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1\/29\/2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalog \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSELY-420\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e656605042015D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Swift\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSecretly Canadian\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40630863691837,"sku":"POP-S-656605042015D","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/2eeebe69c11b22f7ba8702ef326ef9bd_c8f38efc-0796-4912-b985-2c05ed6ec3bd.jpg?v=1685011615"},{"product_id":"pre-order-richard-swift-4-hits-a-miss-the-essential-richard-swift-release-date-11-01-2024","title":"Richard Swift - 4 Hits \u0026 A Miss: The Essential Richard Swift","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDevotees of Richard Swift know that his catalog is sprawly and imaginative, packed with as many finely-honed stone cold classics as one-take, madman experiments.
