To Be Kind
“Swans' latest album takes a hypnotic, meditative approach to churning out some of the most grand and visceral rock instrumentation in the band's 13-album discography.”
To Be Kind
“With 2012’s colossal The Seer, Swans released a record that seemed designed to test the commitment of the band’s most ardent followers yet expanded their audience to an unprecedented degree. Michael Gira seems aware that anticipation for a new Swans album has never been greater, so he’s responded in the best way possible: by producing a record that is every bit The Seer’s equal.”
Leaving Meaning.
“Swans' Leaving Meaning is a customarily monolithic work of experimental rock”
The Great Annihilator (Remastered)
“Swans' The Great Annihilator chews us up and swallows us whole”
The Glowing Man
“Legendary experimental rock outfit Swans returns with one of the most transcendental releases in their discography: The Glowing Man.”
The Seer
“Swans are a band that conjure primal forms of power. Their second studio album since re-forming is among the group's longest and it manages to expand on their sound while simultaneously summarizing everything they've recorded before.”
