Swans | Newly Sentient Being

Swans bow out from the “Big Sound” era with a live document that feels like both a farewell and a defining statement. Capturing the final concert of this phase, it brings together fifteen years of cosmic sonic expressionism at its most heavenly, debased, visceral, and transcendent.

Across more than two and a half hours of music, this set includes a wealth of new material never recorded elsewhere, plus a DVD of the performance. It stands proudly alongside Swans’ legendary live albums, closing this chapter with love and unbridled passion.

A fitting goodbye to this stellar line-up: Norman Westberg, Michael Gira, Dana Schechter, Christopher Pravdica, Phil Puleo, Larry Mullins, and Kristof Hahn.
