I morgen begynder min sommerferie formelt. Og her er en sang, der meget godt rammer sommersituationen lige nu. Move “Flowers in the Rain”…

 

The Swans’ svanesang?

26. juli 2015

På Swans facebookside skriver frontmanden Michael Gira:

Just got home comatose after finishing up the final leg of our 14 month tour for Swans To Be Kind album. We have come to your town, though it’s doubtful we have partied down. It has been a privilege to be inside the sound that on some nights seems to create itself of its own accord, and it’s gratifying that many of you have conveyed to us that it’s been a positive experience for you too… Next step: Sept 1 we commence a new Swans album. This will be the final Swans album (and subsequent tour) for this version / iteration of Swans. Not really sure what the next step will be after that, but that’s perhaps a good thing… We’ll be making a live album/fundraiser (called The Gate) soon, in order to raise the necessary – somewhat daunting – capital for the studio album, which is bound to be an insatiable beast… more soon, Thanks and Love! – Michael Gira

Så måske er Swans ved at sætte punktum for en flot historie med det kommende album…Vi får se.
