about

“Everything you want, crashes like a car,” sing Robyn Hitchcock & Emma Swift on “Love Is A Drag,” the deliciously bittersweet celebration of ardor and adoration that marks their second 7 inch release as a duo and Hitchcock’s first new music in more than two years. The vinyl single/digital download – backed by the equally paradoxical “Life Is Change” – is available from Hitchcock and Swift’s own Tiny Ghost Records.

"Robyn and Emma’s vocals intertwine beautifully, suspending time, leaving you hanging on each lyric as if in a trance. Life might be change, love a drag, but these two songs are gorgeous."

- Kevin Cole, KEXP Senior Director of Programming/Host of the Afternoon Show

"Ahhh….beautiful truths are set to technicolor harmonies on this new single by Robyn Hitchcock and Emma Swift. Sparse yet gauzily multi-dimensional, these songs inhabit their own world but thankfully we are welcome to visit. A gift of love and mercy set to two A-sides. Aces."

- Jody Denberg, KUTX Austin
