Based on co-writers Tom Basden and Tim Key’s own 2007 short, “The One and Only Herb McGwyer Plays Wallis Island,” the feature-length version sticks to a modest scale.

Eric Richter: It’s close to impossible for me to pick my favorite album. Having that said, there are a handful of records that changed my life in one way or another. I was reminded of one when an old friend of mine posted the question, “Name one perfectly produced record.” The first record that came to mind was Swervedriver’s Mezcal Head. Producer Alan Moulder knew exactly what to do with Swervedriver’s enormous swirling guitar sound and together they created my favorite shoegaze album of all-time.
