After the 2nd of the trilogy came out I went to see them live because I was obsessed with The Seer at the time. I haven't seen many concerts so I'll forever be happy I went to experience Michael Gira as he looks into your soul and pukes love in your eyes.

Got to some of the older material after way too long; this band is consistently rewarding to get into. Soundtracks for the Blind being released in 1996 blew my mind, it sounds way of ahead of its time-- wish I'd known about it when it was released over 20 drat years ago. White Light is just magical. Each album is different, you can usually tell from the first track the tone of each album. Really enjoyable stuff. I also keep thinking fondly of when I saw these guys live. I've only been to 4 different concerts, but I've come to see my Swans concert as the best, easily. The crowd was super respectful and mature, and the whole thing felt completely comfortable. Gira obviously does whatever he can to go above-and-beyond, and during the concert he takes time to establish a connection with each person in the audience. Without any pretense; truly a meaningful experience.

No reason to bring it up, but it was a singular encounter, you won't find anything else about the subject.

What's your guys' favorite Swans lyric? Toussaint has some great ones, I'm particularly fond of "rrrRRRrrrrRRrrr" or [some kind of man-dog yelping]

Yayyyyyy I'm finally getting into the Glowing Man recently; I've always liked it but never really got deep up in it. The title track is a good example of how Swans mixes filth with transcendence because by the end of the song I feel truly englightened but also am cumming everywhere

ZearothK posted:I actually burst out laughing when I saw the new album has a 43' long track. I skipped through the song, it's really interesting; it's like all the Swans signature sounds meshed into a single song. I'm gonna have to find a good time to listen to it, for sure.
