Preferably on Vinyl - preferably as loud as you bloody can. The Swans album especially is a shitting force of nature - I've never heard anything like it, yet I recognise all of its composite elements, if that makes sense?
I think I've heard this kind of music done very badly before. It made me think about what it was in this album that made it so effective?
I think that even across relatively experimental tracks that lasts 30+mins there is intelligent, interesting and engaging song writing and there is naturally the opposite. In other words - Swans are fucking great at what they do - and what they do happens to sound like Cormac McCarthy orchestrating some punk chaos engine while the world collapses. ITS NOT PRETENTIOUS, ITS JUST HOW I FEEL.
Its 2 hours long - but you need to sit through it in one go…it will own you.
