The Parasite might be my fav track on this

finally yep, it gave me some majestic delusions of grandeur

CD came in

That is actually a beautiful CD. I might get one now seeing it. So rare to get a good one these days

Yeah I almost never buy CDs but this was definitely worth it. Make sure to buy it from Michaels website so it’ll be signed.

The heart looks way better on card than white IMO, that's the canon cover for me

Agreed

Been on a major swans kick bc of the beggar. Listening to the glowing man and leaving meaning recently has completely recontextualized the album, esp the beggar lover.

Also cloud of forgetting needs to be in a convo for top swans intro

Girlfriend got me TBK vinyl and tickets to see em in Dallas

Been on a 90s Swans kick lately

I think I prefer 90s swans

But it's all amazing

One of the rare cases where a band that’s been around this long doesn’t have a definitive peak era

Original 1982 pressing of their first EP came in got it for a steal too. Also picked up the Catherine Wheel Chrome reissue that came out today

Anyone see they announced a new US tour ?? Union transfer show my fav venue ever God is real . Tickets on sale tomorrow morning apparently

The second section of this song is incredible

New album + Beggar Tour live album in the works

I remember when I first discovered Fantano I was primarily wondering what he thought about Swans and turned out he loved em

thought the beggar would be it

still need to see them live, i was supposed to last year

Saw them this tour and it was incredible. Definitely catch a concert if you can.

Insane song. The transition from Better Than You into this

Might be the greatest song of all time

HEEEEEEE'S A REAL GO GETTTEEEERRRR
