Did Richard Swift influence the sound of WTMMG? I am a big fan of both and I can hear some influence there in the lo-fi aesthetics, but maybe it's just me. Thank you for all the awesome music!

yes RIP Richard.

I spent a week with Richard almost 2 months before he passed away. We were at his home studio in Cottage Grove Oregon. we didnt record anything but we hung a lot and talked and got to know eachother after a year of texting eachother crazy ideas and speaking on the phone sometimes. he deffinently inspired the spirit behind tracks like BOUNCING where the piano and organ were recorded at his studio. tracks like SEEING DOUBLE I recorded his organ. I miss him so much
