Sad news Swede
Not a name I’m familiar with but 41 is far too young
Indeed it is CC. If you have anything by The Shins, The Black Keys, Kevin Morby, Tahiti 80, Tennis, Foxygen or Damien Jurado in your collection, there's a good chance that it'll have Richard's fingerprints all over it.
Very sad. I listened to The Novelist again the other night following your previous post. Some great songs on there.
