Swans is almost 2 bands for me. Anything pre White Light From the Mouth of Infinity is so much less meditative and brief compared to what would come next. With that in mind the viscerality of Cop and Holy Money give me the same level of enjoyment, but in a completely different way. Those albums also just feel much more like a snapshot in time. A look into a kind of regional music scene that can't exist post internet.

For me, there's something inherently existential about their music. It cuts right through the bullshit and hits at the heart of what makes people uncomfortable, and then makes you relish that discomfort as you keep listening, because their rhythms are almost hypnotic despite being purposely dissonant and atonal at times. That's difficult to do, especially coming back after a decade and sounding similar but still saying something different. All their new albums are like that.

I was gripped trying to fill myself on them. Gira is a true artist using music to reach deep inside this human. I had a 2 hour cross country car ride yesterday and revisited To Be Kind - as intense, gripping, visceral, terrifying....entertaining as ever. I COMPLETELY agree Fantano here.

I still think the most impressive quality about Swans is that they can keep a schedule. While Kanye is in year two of Yahndi being done “maybe soon, maybe not soon” (and this isn’t the first time he’s run up against deadlines), Swans say they will finished mixing in July and finish mixing in July, say they will release in October and are still on schedule to meet that. Not to mention that Tool are releasing a fifth album after a dozen years of saying “we promise it’s going to happen soon.” I just hope the best for them all, but Swans deserve more credit for how dutifully they seem to get things done on these massive opuses they create every few years now.

I have very mixed feelings about Swans in general. This album, though, is magnificent. I feel like To Be Kind is a good balance of Swans' ability to resonate in a disturbing way, *and* remain actually kind of catchy. I still revisit "Oxygen" on a regular basis. "A Little God In My Hands" and "Just a Little Boy" still make me feel gross. If sound could rot, this would be it. EDIT: Also, I don't know whether you're planning to revisit albums from this decade regularly - it would certainly be time-consuming - but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Sun Kil Moon's "Benji" after five (?) years. I haven't enjoyed much of his output as much as you, but that album still sticks out as the best parts of Sun Kil Moon in one record.

I find it interesting that TBK is your favourite of the contemporary Swans trio; I always thought it the poppiest / radio-friendly of the three and The Seer to be the most aggressive / abstract, i.e. the pinacle of the concept you were discussing in this video.

I think the theme of the album is a father coming to terms with his own fatherhood and the amount of responsibility and power that comes with that. It's similar to Eraserhead. "A little god in my hands" is the thesis, the acknowledgement that this child now controls his entire being. "To be kind" is him acknowledging the banality of everything while still accepting what he has to do. He comes to terms with the fact that it is his responsibility, and even though he never valued kindness before he has to turn to it now even if it doesn't feel genuine. It's about a father's switch from nihilistic and almost hedonistic behavior, to embracing a more existential approach.

I dunno if it's as simple as that, personally. I do like the idea of that particular song being about an infant/child realising what it is ("eye full of sun, hand full of mud"). Or even at the very least, a "universal" summation of the innocent point of view of a child. I don't know how far those themes stretch beyond just that track though. No examples really come to mind

Not sure if Gira put that much thought into the album concept. I can't remember where I read this, but I once saw this album being compared to a newborn baby's experience of the world. Everything they see and hear is new and disorienting and likely awe-inspiring but they don't know how to express it so they just cry. I would say if there is any theme Swans were consciously trying to get across it's maximalism. I've heard a lot of loud, heavy, grating music, but this was the first record where I thought of the word "maximalist" to describe it.

It is a great album. I think they were able to reach their purest sound in To Be Kind, in the same direction they aimed back in The Seer. I feel The Glowing Man was kind of an iteration towards the same idea, a development that feels like "ok, we have reached the limit here".

Dynamics, progression via arrangement rather than chords, minimalism juxtaposed by maximalism and structured improv. Great songwriting both poetic and via mantra. Yes. Totally the same thing over and over.
