Swans have live album, new LP on way
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 4 June 2013
Swans’ Michael Gira has revealed that the band have plans to release a new LP to follow last year’s ‘The Seer’, and a “hand made” live album, as soon as they’re off the road.
Writing via Facebook, Gira said the studio LP will feature adaptations of tracks the band have been trialling live over past shows, and several that fans haven’t yet heard.
He added: “It means the world to us to be in the center of the storm with you… it is a life giving, regenerative event for us to make this music, and my hope is that a positive effect is shared by all. We feel blessed to be able to do the thing we love, and profoundly moved that some people on this earth find something of value in our work. Thank you!”
