Swans’ Michael Gira On Dissolving His Band’s Current Lineup
Vanity Fair: When you announced The Glowing Man’s release and touring schedule, you said it would be the final offering from this particular lineup of Swans. What went into that decision?MORE
Michael Gira: Um, seven years of being in the same place with the same people all the time. [laughs] It’s been a very fruitful relationship, at least from my point of view. And it has produced some of the best music in which I’ve ever been involved. I just feel like as a band -as a classic formation “band” where it’s the same members all the time -it’s kind of running its course. And I think we all agree
Here's Glowing Man from the new album's accompanying DVD via Dangerous Minds. NB Ron that the film is just under two hours of which this is just one track
The rehearsals have just started for the world tour and I look forward to the Swans machine rolling down to Australia early next year

Oh dear...
Thank you all for being so nice. Those platforms were hell to walk in though the young professional models made it look easy. We have to praise the 2-3 make up people, the two hair stylists, even the manicurist. Everyone spent a very fun few hours prettying me up‼️and Marc and Michael, all the fashion crew and photographers were really nice to me. It was the first time in ages we truly felt attractive since Lady JAYE dropped her body. We felt as if s/he was illuminating me. It was fascinating to see once again how much intense WORK goes into each image. We were and are grateful to Marc for this experience🙏😍😍Via
