Every song on White Light is boring as gently caress and uses too much reverb except failure.

im permabanned poster moneystomper58. i first started making music when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "no-wave" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "I see it all" and "Someone less privileged than you should rape you" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "no-wave" style of NY music was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" no-wave to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Beyond sane knolls posted:The song is good, but that bullshit about kids playing the song is loving incredible. There's no way it's true. Yeah, it's too obviously Gira singing, and it's not exactly a "lost" track- it's been on Body to Body, Job to Job forever.

I feel like The Body Lovers is criminally underlooked. It's Gira, Jarboe, and co basically continuing the Soundtracks-era noisescapes and drones. Goddamn harrowing too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrOCteaZfns

centaurtainment posted:One of my friends took me to a Swans show a few years back. I had only ever listened to Your Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky a couple of times when it came out and liked it well enough without having a particularly visceral reaction to it. We went to the show in Boston on The Seer tour and my friend handed me a pair of earplugs when we got there. We smoked a joint and went into the lovely, cramped, dank venue and bought tallboys of PBR. Once the floor was pretty full the lights went down and the band took the stage. Ok but now listen to Swans are Dead.

Public Castration is a Good Idea would be the greatest live album ever made if not for Swans are Dead.

I'm a big fan of New Mother and How I Loved You, but as they kept making albums I started to check out of the AoL.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:Ok all the talk of this seeming "out of character" for Gira needs to stop unless you have spent a considerable amount of time with him, yeah? Yeah, the guy that wrote this would offer to make people stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIRnPUhSdA8

I rate that post an 8.0 on the rape scale.

If this turns out to be true I'm gonna toss all my SWANS stuff except my Public Castration is a Good Idea t-shirt because that will become deliciously ironic.

Bolocko posted:If you owned a Caravaggio painting would you get rid of it because he murdered someone (while attempting to castrate him)? You shouldn't joke about that poo poo, I'm the guy he killed.

Great Annihilator is kinda boring but the songs are all redeemed on Swans Are Dead.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1000942931/where-does-a-body-end-a-documentary-on-the-band-sw Kickstarter just launched for releasing a documentary about the band, the filming's almost completely done (they're just gonna get footage of their last live show when it happens) withtons of cool rewards designed by Gira. Molestationary Store posted:Swans are Dead is one of the missing pieces of my collection, perhaps I should remedy that. Also I totes wanna fight you on the internet for slagging TGA. I listened to Swans Are Dead first and it's tough to go backwards with the songs getting worse.

Nobody really does what Swans does now because they're insane, but go back in time and listen to Throbbing Gristle, early Sonic Youth, The Contortions, Mars, and a bunch of other No Wave stuff.
