Join KEXP in remembering Swift’s profound legacy by revisiting some of his astounding work, both as a songwriter and producer, below. www.kexp.org
Swift’s loss is a blow to the indie music community, both in his role as a performer and behind the boards. Throughout his career, he’s served as a member of The Shins, The Arcs, and Starflyer 59 and performed as a touring member for acts such as Wilco, The Black Keys, and Cold War Kids. Swift also had an extensive solo career, releasing seven albums, numerous EPs and singles. His most recent release was a collaborative cover album with Damien Jurado appropriately titled Other People’s Songs Volume One. Swift was maybe his most prolific as a producer, recording albums for Kevin Morby, Sharon Van Etten, Tennis, Guster, Damien Jurado, David Bazan, Pure Bathing Culture, and many more.
