New Swans

[DarkAxel]

What are these trumpets

funky as a mother!!!!

[DarkAxel]

IS THAT AN LFO IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU PULL ON ME NOW

does this sound like something Talking heads would do or am I crazy?

[DarkAxel]

now I feel like I'm listening to Jean Michelle Jarre!

this album is Jungian as fuck. The collective unconscious put into music. Mythological

[DarkAxel]

People Like Us is another left hook. Didn't expect that coming at all. I mean in Swans' discography Instant David Lynch sountrack

[DarkAxel]

OH FUCK do you guys remember that urban myth about Mulholland Drive that the cowboy at the overlook was Gira? How did that happen?

[D.o.S.]

No. And I don't want to interrupt your roll, but have you listened to any of David Lynch's records?

[DarkAxel]

Hey I love Lynch and I haven't , weirdly. I'm a little afraid to be honest... It would suck if they were bad

[DarkAxel]

Ok, not sure if Frankie M is losing me or pushing me over the boundary where I can't be surprised.

Hey you know what? That weird moment after the Butterlies part reminded me of hearing Daydream Nation for the first time... and then we got a bit drone techno and I got my surprisability back

[DarkAxel]

So I ignored When Will I Return as a single or a leak or whatever and I don't know what to say.

and now Glowing man which is fucking me in the brain straight up from the first quarter

[DarkAxel]

The explosions on this album are so huge. So much low mid, it's like an earthquake

It sounds almost orchestral-sized. Absolutely sick stuff. And then you notice the vibraphone again in the middle of all of it. Peek-a-boo

[DarkAxel]

AND THEN THE KRAUTROCK HITS YOU

[DarkAxel]

Finally, Peace

is my exact words after the end of Glowing Man. Pravdica kills me again, the backing choir is fantastic.

This was an experience for sure. Damn. Immersive as fuck, I had so many blank stares into the wall... Looking forward to hearing it sober too, I think I will still like it

[Chankgeez]

Where's syl?

[Faldoe]

Haven't heard it yet. So far I still think MFWG is the best Swans Redux record, though.

That's the one I've returned to the most. The Seer was great live, but on record I don't think many people actually listen to the title track because it just doesn't work as well when it doesn't make your guts shake.

For anyone who wants to try before they buy/torrent/whatever.

Is anyone else unable to play this?

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, it now seems to be copyright blocked.
