IT'S OUT
Swans Birthing Release
trust fund
was listening to the leak yesterday. seems like they're back on track, although it still doesn't quite reach the heights of the tbk/tgm/seer trilogy
More same-y drone trash with some folk and blues influence I'm guessing?
nah it's their best record since The Glowing Man.
Leaving Meaning was cool, The Beggar had some good sounds but was honestly forgettable, this however is amazing. I'm actually surprised, I thought it was all downhill from here but they somehow managed to make something amazing again
who?
The Swans
I haven't listened to it yet, but if I like tracks like the ending of A Piece of The Sky and Unforming will I like this record.
Yes you will love it.
So the last album was about death, is this one about resurrection or reincarnation?
geriatric retirees release an album
I'll pass
THANK YOU MISTER GIRA

I legit do not like Swans' output since they stopped the Holy Trilogy line up. Should I still give this a spin even if I didn't care for Leaving Meaning or The Beggar?
If you liked the trilogy (Seer, TBK, TGM) then you'll love it. It's the best album they've put out in almost ten years
I hope so I love something mellow rather than heavy drone music
People only think this is art because of the long and pompous track lengths
the songs aren't even that long for post-rock.
On the latest album, if you were to rate the best to worst with 1 as best and 7 as worst, what place would you give The Tower?
So far, that is the only song I've heard from this.
swans are shit
It's alright.
The Merge 11/10
The Healers 10/10
Birthing 10/10
Guardian Spirit 9.5/10
Red Yellow 9.5/10 (intro is 11/10)
Rope 9/10
I Am a Tower 8.5/10
Away 8.5/10
This band is such bullshit now, their newer albums are like those shitty new TV shows on amazon, apple tv etc that desperately wanna be a 10 hour movie. Just cinematic slop.
I think the polar opposite. Swans is still making the equivalent of Bergman films in an era where most bands are trying to recreate Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
The Merge
Swans has a song about Chris Chan? Did the Merge actually happen?
swans sucks
kek I thought the same thing. it is genuinely one of the best songs they've done in a while, though, perhaps ever
1. (Rope) Away
2. The Merge
3. Birthing
4. The Healers
5. Red Yellow
6. Guardian Spirit
7. I Am a Tower
link? spotify only has 1 song
it comes out at midnight per time zone.
birthing is beautiful
Their best since Filth
Well, this is as better as it going to get since next album will probably just be some kind of folky Angels of Light like release... it was nice while it lasted :')
I went deaf two day ago. Feels bad man.
are you serious?
Boring mediocrity, as always with Swans.
First rule of Anon Babble: we are never serious

5 mins and I’m so bored
It was the only track I really liked. None were really bad but this will fall in the forgotten pile with the rest of their recent releases for me.
even making it 5 mins
admirable
IT'S OUT
that's what they said after the birth
This person lied to me
