After Richard Swift passed away in July, the music industry was devastated at the heartbreaking loss of yet another influential and multi-talented songwriter to alcoholism. In November, Lucius, who have worked closely with Swift in the past, announced a 7” record series titled The Fug Yep Soundation in memory of Swift and the first installment of that series, Fug Yep No. 1. All the releases will feature two singles which were inspired by or recorded with swift, and the first two songs, “Christmas Time is Here” and “Keep Me Hangin On,” are out as part of Fug Yep No. 1 now.
