Richard Swift, the savant indie producer (Damien Jurado, Mynabirds, Gardens & Villa), is also a gifted songwriter/performer.  Check out his new song below with its Motown mien.  Swift writes about this song:  “A year and a half ago i broke my finger.  Never got it back.  This is a song I made a few days after getting the cast taken off.”  You might also catch Swift touring with James Mercer in the newly-constituted Shins as they head out on tour shortly (with Hosannas opening at several shows).
