Director credit is Ulysses///Onasis.

Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Richard Swift’s new album “The Atlantic Ocean” was just released on Secretly Canadian and has a mix of synths, soul and rock and roll. It was recorded in Wilco’s studio on an analogue tape machine sold to him by Jeff Tweedy and features the guest talents of Mark Ronson, Ryan Adams, Sean Lennon and Pat Sansone from Wilco. As for the sound, Swift likes to describe it as “Prince sitting in on John Lennon’s Plastic Ono sessions” and so far, it has garnered praise from NPR, Magnet, Spin and more.
