One of my essential bands. Lords of the New York, post-punk, “No-Wave” scene. On Monday, Michael Gira said:
“Hello There,
“ I have decided to focus my energy on SWANS once again. I’m reactivating that project. A new album is in the works, and touring will follow in fall of 2010. In order to help raise funds / help defray the considerable costs of recording and promoting the new album, I have made a special CD/DVD limited edition handmade package called “I Am Not Insane” available exclusively at the YGR website. You can read about the CD/DVD, and my decision to reactivate SWANS at this link:
“Thanks Very Much, and God Bless You,
“Michael Gira / Swans / Angels Of Light / Young God Records”
(And, oh yeah—Drax stuff coming soon. Really.)
