"To Be Kind" received widespread critical acclaim for its boldness and innovation, cementing Swans' reputation as pioneers in avant-garde music.
Swans, formed in New York City in 1982 by Michael Gira, are renowned for their uncompromising approach to music that fuses elements of post-punk, noise rock, industrial sounds, and minimalism. Over decades of evolution'from brutal early releases like "Filth," through atmospheric masterpieces such as "Soundtracks for the Blind," to their acclaimed reformation albums'Swans have consistently pushed boundaries. Their influence can be heard across genres and generations.
Mute Records is an iconic independent label founded by Daniel Miller in 1978. Known for championing innovative artists across electronic, alternative rock, and experimental genres'including Depeche Mode, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Goldfrapp'the label has built a legacy of artistic freedom and creative excellence.
On the first listen, some songs might seem like the kind of music crowd funding might produce with no need for brevity or clarity of ideas, just keep going until the money runs out. That, however, would be wrong wrong wrong. This is GREAT GREAT ALBUM - SWANS forever
