Legendary Swans Unveil New Album! Refined by incessant improvisation and live performances, as well as new studio compositions, Birthing is a testament to Michael Gira's uncompromising sonic vision. Initially conceived as stripped-down acoustic compositions, the songs were progressively developed and transformed in the studio with longtime live members and collaborators. “This album, along with the recent live release Live Rope, constitutes my latest foray (as producer/impresario) into these all-consuming sound worlds that have been my obsession for years. We will do one final tour with this configuration toward the end of 2025, and then that will be it. After that, Swans will continue, as long as I am able, but in a distinctly more stripped-down form. A few hints of this new direction are already present in some moments of the new album. In the meantime, I hope this music will provide a positive and fertile atmosphere in which to dream.” – Michael Gira / Swans
