Met Jarboe last night

She was very friendly. Set was great, I was just glad there was seating

If Blood Meridian were a film, Swans would be the perfect sound

was just listening to the live rope album and the roaring guitars would sound amazing in the backdrop of all the unspeakable violence that occurs. Theyve used harmonicas before too giving a sort of dark western feel. The Seer, children of god and even birthing do this. Idk, if Blood Meridian ever gets made they needa hit up Michael

Purchased this 2 mins after the announcement 🤞🏻

YGR announced they found a few copies of LIVE ROPE 4LP boxset. I had to buy one immediately, didn’t even think about it.

Future albums and touring

Does anyone know or have any estimates as to what their next “sound” will be and when the album will be released?

I also know they test new material live so any ideas as to when next tour will be?

Just gotten into this band and they’ve finished what they were doing seemingly😂😂

I’ve sworn by digital streaming for so long because I’m broke and my dog hates anything loud, how do I get mr gira to stop using his patented snow bunny mind control to make me consider getting a record player?

I’m genuinely considering dropping bands on a full setup just for the laughter on “just a little boy”, and if I switched to vinyl it would really suck for the guy I’m trying to buy a filth cd from.

Hi to all the saturated human beings!

Heavily influenced by the swans in my work, let me know what you think! Calling this one “the impostor” :)

The ending music of "The Cloud of Unknowing" with the lyrics of "Leaving Meaning" ( From the beggar lover three)is more fitting than the original song in my opinion.

British comedians Bridget Christie and Stewart Lee

Hello! Something I found by the off-chance after I saw the name "BRIDGET CHRISTIE" as one of the supporter names on Birthing (top right, in caps on the last insert), and thought if it could be the same person as the British comedian. Turns out, it is! She even posted about them on insta with Swans_official liking her post.

She also went to the final Berlin show - https://www.instagram.com/p/DRreOa8jRIM/

She was also married to fellow comedian Stewart Lee. In his 2019 book March of the Lemmings he mentions this about a visit to Seattle in 1994 where he met a scenester (page 65) - "He seemed normal enough by the standards of the day - beanie hat, goatee beard, and pierced nipples poking through a t-shirt bearing the legend 'Public Castration is a Good Idea'".

On another note, I saw Lee live last year and wore that t-shirt to the show. It was an ice-breaker during the meet-and-great afterwards! :D
