Richard Swift
, the multi-instrumentalist who served as
' drummer since their inception. Most of the music on
was recorded prior to his passing, but it took
Auerbach
and producer
Leon Michels

, as is texture, a combination that essentially makes this album the reverse image of
, where the grooves were as concise and precise as the hooks. Here,
drift along elliptically funky rhythms, patterns that allow
to draw circular melodies that are tuneful without quite being catchy. All this means that
plays like an old-fashioned long-player instead of a stack of 45s, a heady experience that nevertheless is anchored in R&B. Maybe the thrills aren't as immediate as they are on
, yet the free-floating psychedelic soul is alluring, as well as a worthy tribute to
Swift
