Attention All Other Bands Reuniting In 2010: You Been Trumped

Swans FTW. That's right, everyone's favorite Gothic/Industrial pioneers and trendsetters are back. Get ready to have your ears straight up assaulted (in the best possible way) by the Great Annihilators themselves. The band is reuniting for "tour(s)" and for the recording of a brand new album. Love that parenthetical s. I literally could not be more excited for this.

If you haven't heard Swans:

1. On what planet do you spend most of your time?

2. Why is there no Swans there?

3. Go here right now.

Michael Gira's other, much less rocking but still very good, folky kinda project, Angels of Light, is officially on hiatus. No biggie.

Here's a little taste if you're low on hard drive space or not willing to take my word for it. But you should really make room even if you have no space at all. Just delete the new Grizzly Bear.

Just ignore the annoying title cards on this one. Also, this track is not on the album I linked.

It is on another Swans album, titled White Light From The Mouth of Infinity.

In case you wanna hear the whole song, which weirdly isn't on YouTube.

Edit: Michael Gira, the band leader of Swans, runs a record label through which he releases his work and the work

of other amazing acts such as Akron/Family, Larkin Grimm, James Blackshaw, and others. It is a small label,

putting out the work of great artists who nonetheless don't make a lot of money. It was a slip of judgement to post

a link to an illegal version of the Swans album on this site. You should all buy it because it is a fantastic album, and

because Young God is not "The Man,"and deserves and needs your money if they are to continue putting out great

albums by great bands.

Love, Wolfgar
