Richard Swift

New to us he might be, but the boy Swift has been about. From early experiments with a four track recorder to becoming keyboard player for the band Starflyer 59 before starting his own Instruments of Science and Technology outfit, Richard Swift now finds himself as the figurehead and sole named member of the cult band The Songs of National Freedom. With them behind him, he makes delightful ballads, tender rock and roll, inquisitive folk music and serene soundscapes as backdrops for his inimitably soft vocal delivery of lyrical content that can be at once quirky and heartbreaking. We think he might be a magician, and will keep you posted on the findings of our investigation as to whether this is actually the truth.
