Swans – Leaving Meaning 2xLP Vinyl Record

Experimental powerhouse Swans return with “Leaving Meaning,” their fifteenth studio album and a follow up to 2016’s “The Glowing Man.” Written and produced by Michael Gira, this release is proof that he is still full of creative energy. The album features contributions from recent and former Swans, members of Angels of Light as well as Anna and Maria von Hausswolff, Ben Frost, The Necks, Baby Dee and Jennifer Gira.

Swans continue their post-rock/dark ambient streak with another sprawling work that incorporates – and refines – many of the ideas played with on their more recent outings, specifically, “The Glowing Man.” As such, the album relies on hypnotic repetition stretched out across lengthy arrangements, though many of the songs are punchier and more concise than they have been in the recent past. “Leaving Meaning” is a sonic-driven journey that continues to justify Swans’ resurgence with an infectious blend of hoots, howls, and hums
