He was the founder, owner, and recording engineer of National Freedom, a recording studio located in Oregon, and worked for acts including The Shins, Damien Jurado, David Bazan, Foxygen, Jessie Baylin, Nathaniel Rateliff, Lucius, Lonnie Holley, The Mynabirds, Wake Owl, Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab, Gardens & Villa, Cayucas, and Guster. Swift was also part of the Black Keys live band during their 2013-2014 tour. As a solo artist, Swift has created a total of 8 masterful records. He also produced the album for The Mynabird’s What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood (2010), Foxygen’s We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic (2013), and several others.
