It must be the season for new Richard Swift. Last month we shared the troubadour’s ode to a maimed hand, “Broken Finger Blues,” and today Swift offers up “Whitman,” the first taste from his forthcoming release, Walt Wolfman. A fine ode from one American iconoclast to another, “Whitman” — all propulsive chugging drums and keys — finds Swift’s r&b falsetto in fine form. A vinyl/mp3 only release, look for Wolfman October 18th.

Are these the same songs that were on the 3″ CD Laminar subscription release? Basically has the same cover minus the text I think.
1 | td August 31st, 2011 at 12:34 pmI was wondering the same thing. I believe it is with “Whitman” as an added track to the previous tracklist. Found this tracklist over at 24bit.
Walt Wolfman Tracklist
01. “Whitman”
2 | tuba2000 August 31st, 2011 at 4:17 pm02. “MG 333″
03. “Laugh It Up”
04. “Zombie Boogie”
05. “Out & About”
06. “Drakula (Hey Man!)”
07. “St. Michael”
@TD – yes, with the addition of “Whitman” and coming out via Secretly Canadian vs. Flannelgraph who released the 3″ last year.
3 | Satisfied '75 August 31st, 2011 at 7:02 pmOK, thanks.
4 | td August 31st, 2011 at 7:27 pmIt’s been a while since I listened to the EP, but I remember the vocals were really distorted almost to the point where it kinda annoyed me (and I basically like everything Swift has ever done), but Whitman doesn’t sound that way. I wonder if he has remixed it or anything.
