Swans documentary 'Where Does the Body End?' followed the band for five years and also features interviews with Thor Harris, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo, Karen O, Savages singer Jehnny Beth, Amanda Palmer, and more.
Where Does a Body End? is a new documentary about Swans made by director Marco Porsia who spent five years ”in the band's tight inner circle,” filming ”rehearsals, songwriting sessions, the grind of life on the road, petty arguments and transcendent performances.”
Over 50 Mute Records artists, past and present, are offering up interpretations of John Cage’s famously ”silent” composition for the label's 40th anniversary.
'We Sing a New Language: The Oral Discography of Thurston Moore' features contributions from Lydia Lunch, Richard Hell, Michael Gira, Lee Ranaldo, Glenn Branca, Nels Cline, and more.
Michael Girasaid last year that the version of Swans who have been on a hot streak this entire decade would release their final album in 2016. Now it's officially been announced. It's called The Glowing Man, and it's due out June 17 via Young God/Mute. Like its predecessor, it was produced by John Congleton. Guests include Gira's wife Jennifer singing lead on"When Will I Return?" and Okkyung Lee playing a cello solo on "Cloud of Unknowing"...
