This week we’re discussing every album by Swans from 1987-1996. This era of the band is easily their most blindsiding, as they shifted heavily from the brutality of their early records to a more musical, goth, and at times even poppy direction. And what’s more shocking is that they still ruled every step of the way. While Michael Gira still had a revolving door of members in the band at this time, vocalist and keyboardist Jarboe became an essential part of this era of Swans.
Closing track: “Helpless Child” from Soundtracks for the Blind (1996)
