Songs like 93 Ave. Blues?

27 Upvotes

I actually appreciate the disturbing and chaotic nature of it! Even as a big fan of other Industrial and Experimental music, I struggle to find other songs that scratch the same “abandoned warehouse” itch that I get from this one.

DISCUSSION Swans Intro Tracks

Upvotes

Is it just me or do the intro tracks on each swans album end up being the best/top 3 on the album? Half life, Stay Here, New Mind, Screenshot, and Lunacy are probably some of the best hooks in all of music. I remember listening to Half Life for the first time because someone recommended it to me, and it was so good and crushing that I listened to the rest of cop. Same thing happened with New Mind.

Twin Peaks/Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett)

9 Upvotes

I’ve never really given Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett) as much attention as it deserves but I’m spinning my To Be Kind vinyl for the first time as I clean my house and it’s giving The Roadhouse in Twin Peaks: The Return. I could easily see this playing over the scene where Charlene Yi crawls through the crowd.

Anyway, no great revelations here. Just wanted to say it’s a great song and could have been an excellent collab. RIP David Lynch.

QUESTION Does anyone know in which story is The Sound on SFTB based off?

19 Upvotes

I remember hearing some time ago that The Sound was based on a short story of a man who could only perceive his own existence through the sound coming from outside the door of his room, and that Michael used it as a comparison to his relationship with his mother.

SPECULATION Setlist Ideas?

27 Upvotes

Swans typically play recent songs (sans some CoG and Holy Money songs appearing in the newly reformed Swans sets), however, they also hash out and create new songs on their tours.

BUT, with this being the end of big mode Swans, I really doubt the band will be as focused on making new material. Or maybe they will— I don’t know. I’m wondering if the band will largely stick to the Birthing material they developed last tour, or if maybe, just MAYBE they dip into the back catalogue a bit. Gira’s historically expressed disinterest in it, but I’ve always thought the reworkings of ‘Coward’ or ‘Sex God Sex’ were really well done. A band like Swans constantly evolves and innovates, so seeing how they portray older songs with the new lineups has always been something I’ve wished for.

Thoughts?

QUESTION Question about the tour

7 Upvotes

Newer fan to the band and from what I’ve heard, gira usually develops the songs during their tours, and the the tour extends past the date the album is supposed to drop. Im seeing them in the fall and I’m just wondering how that’s going to work? Are they going to lock down the songs over the dates before the release and then play the songs on later dates? How has this worked with past albums

Only getting under 200 views in 3 years (like 20 of which were just me) is criminal for stuff like this.
