It’s just like Richard Swift to leave a postscript, a note at the end of a long letter riddled with silly jokes, bruised run-on sentences and doodles in the margins. He was always working, always writing songs and dreaming up sounds, right up until he died July 3 in a Tacoma, Wash., hospice facility from complications of hepatitis, as well as liver and kidney distress. He was 41, but his extensive production and songwriting catalog read like someone with several more years on him, sharing studios with the likes of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Dan Auerbach, Laetitia Sadier and The Shins.
Swift completed a new solo album in the months before his death. It’s called The Hex and it’ll be out tomorrow – no prolonged wait, but a punctuation mark that’s not so much final, just there. It’s mostly just Swift, with contributions from friends and backing vocals from his three children.
