instruments%20of%20st-r.swift.jpgATTENTION: Fans of Broadcast! From a place that you'd not think to look comes a rich slab of glitchy/gloopy Kraut/Eno-style instrumentals. Richard Swift has up until now been known as a purveyor of some excellent orch-pop records. So, maybe it's because it sits in such diametric opposition to his past output, but man, is his new project ever great. Low-key, atmospheric, and full of retro-future fun, Instruments of Science and Technology is certainly not without musical precedent--not by a long shot. But if you're gonna do it, do it right. With this unassuming, incognito release, Swift has done so exceedingly well.
