Swans Solo Tour/Album 2018-08-21 by robotmagician | 15 Comments | Fresh off the release of the remastered Soundtracks for the Blind, Michael Gira has announced a short solo Swans tour. The 5 date run of shows will feature songs from the, as of yet untitled, 15th Swans album. The tracklist features a string of small notes, as well as a tentative March 2019 recording date.
Along with the album title, Gira’s bandmates for the recordings have not been announced since the dissolution of the previous iteration of the band.
Perhaps most surprisingly, the new album will feature a re-recorded and re-arranged “God Damn the Sun” from 1989’s The Burning World, the band’s only major label release. Gira has been openly critical of his performance on the album, and it was a critically mediocre, commercial failure.

I’m excited for new music, interesting to see what we’ll be getting in terms of sound and length. God Damn the Sun being re-recorded is exciting - I personally really enjoy the burning world, and god damn the sun is a gem, but it’ll be great to hear a new take on it

I admire that he's not afraid to tear down what works and start fresh. It helps avoid stagnation but it takes balls.

Not a fan of The Burning World but "God Damn the Sun" is a masterpiece and it certainly deserves a re-recording. Hyped.

Old mon Gira still putting in that work
| | |
So wonderful to hear he's still doing his thing. I hope he condenses his style a bit more though, there is only so much patience I have and the 20 minute songs got a little ridiculous and draggy on the last album.

Swans, mewithoutYou, Daughters, Aphex Twin, and Fucked Up releasing new material. Hyped

you should hear The Knot if you think those started to drag. song is 45+ minutes. they played it every night of the final 3 shows, I wasn’t particularly happy about that
| | |
but The Knot is badass
| | |
When...
| | |
I quite dislike The Burning World but yeah, God Damn The Sun is a true gem
| | |
"but The Knot is badass"
Yep

"you should hear The Knot if you think those started to drag. song is 45+ minutes. they played it every night of the final 3 shows, I wasn’t particularly happy about that "
Why the fuck you gotta be so wrong man
| | |
the knot is cool, it has a great payoff, but it was too much hearing it three nights in a row lol
