Swans are one of my favorite bands. I'm also big into Michael Gira's solo stuff. Check this song out (and lol @ the background image):

Shit gives me goosebumps.

As far as the new album is concerned, I enjoy it. Jim is definitely the standout track.

They're going on tour and if you have a chance to see them, do it. I might inquire about someone being my proxy and sending me merchandise from the live show because they do not come anywhere near Texas.
