Vinyl pre-order on Young God Records site

“After numerous pandemic-induced cancellations of tours for the previous Swans album leaving meaning, and an apparent bottomless pit of waiting, waiting, waiting, and the strange disorientation that came with this sudden but interminable forced isolation I decided it was time to write songs for a new Swans album and forget about everything else. They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last. When I finally was able to travel, songs in hand, to Berlin to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink. I hope you enjoy the album.” – Michael Gira

my favourite color is pink

Is there really a mind? 🔍 🧐

Great track, definitely in the same vein as leaving meaning which imo, is underrated in their discography. Looking forward for more

Tracklist order seems to vary between the CD and vinyl

What does 'pagan sound' underneath leaving meaning. mean?

Also, album art

Edit: this is just the vinyl art I think

Also what do people think of the swans trilogy?

Love this

To Be Kind is my favorite by them, The Seer is incredible too, haven’t heard The Glowing Man yet but I’m planning on listening soon

this new song is good

i’m considering selling all my records of theirs and repurchasing them on CD…having to constantly flip my records when listening to a 30+ min song f***ing sucks

The 44 min song isn't on the new vinyl, instead you can download it

Honestly would pay the extra $10-$15 or whatever to just make it a triple LP.

New single is really great

in for new swans

great single, getting strong TBK vibes from this

my phantom limb

What an absolute banger, some of Gira's best lyrics

Even with "I'm the avatar of your
semen"

fr that’s a bullshit genre descriptor

one of my favorite closers of the 2010s, s***'s a whole f***ing trip

yeah, that’s exactly why i bought the cd version. if it was meant to be on the album, it was meant to be on the disc i don’t wanna have to go out of my way to download one song when i got the whole album (not that i can just stream it, but you get my point)

Think I'll be using this artwork, and man does this poster go hard

excited as s***, i wish it wasnt so far though because i skip listening to singles

gotta make sure to secure tickets for these damn shows
