The reunited Swans playing their song “I Crawled” in Dublin last week. This version turns the pounding noise of the original into a foreboding, atmospheric epic, going just as far beyond the live version on 1997’s Swans Are Dead as that version went beyond the studio original. And though I know plenty of people have plenty of love for former Swans female vocalist Jarboe, she’ll never be as awesome as Michael Gira is on this recording. I’m hoping the current Swans lineup also release a double live LP at some point. I want an entire album’s worth of this.
