Our Take

SWANS' latest album, "Leaving Meaning," is an epic journey through the twisted minds of its creators. Michael Gira and his band of misfits have crafted a masterpiece that defies easy categorization. From the hauntingly beautiful opener, "Hums," to the cacophonous chaos of "It's Coming It's Real," this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

Gira's vocals are as powerful as ever, invoking a sense of dread and longing that is both mesmerizing and terrifying. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with swirling strings and thundering drums creating a sonic landscape that is both dense and spacious.

But, the real highlight of "Leaving Meaning" is the songwriting. Gira's lyrics are as cryptic and poetic as ever, touching on themes of love, loss, and existential dread. Each track feels like a journey into the dark recesses of Gira's mind, with unexpected twists and turns keeping the listener on their toes.

Overall, "Leaving Meaning" is a triumph for SWANS, proving once again that they are one of the most innovative and boundary-pushing bands in the industry. A must-listen for fans of experimental music and those who dare to delve into the depths of their own psyche.
