Exciting news reaches The Quietus offices! Michael Gira has reconvened Swans (and mark his words: "THIS IS NOT A REUNION") and they will release their new album this September.
My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky will be released on September 20. Gira said: "THIS IS NOT A REUNION. It’s not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After 5 Angels Of Light albums, I needed a way to move FORWARD, in a new direction, and it just so happens that reviving the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that."
The tracklisting for the album is as follows:
‘No Words/ No Thoughts’
‘Reeling The Liars In’
‘Jim’
‘My Birth’
‘You Fucking People Make Me Sick’
‘Inside Madeline’
‘Eden Prison’
‘Little Mouth’
