Despite a potentially career ending finger fracture, Richard Swift triumphs on his latest EP, Walt Wolfman. While rehabbing the broken bone, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist dedicated himself to a producer role, working with the acts like The Mynabirds and Damian Jurado. Now he’s back in front of the microphone (and behind the drums), showcasing his characteristically off-kilter sense of humor and edgy falsetto on the seven tracks of r&b. Check out his mini-album on Secretly Canadian on October 18th, and catch him on tour with The Shins. – Written by JFelton
