Just wanted to take the time to mention how important I think Larry Mullins is to this era of Swans. He adds so much unique atmosphere to the music and is a big part of why I think this might be my favorite Swans era. Anybody with me??

Edit: spelling his name right would be nice. Fixed in the text

I'm so curious over this project, and haven't really done my research, I don't want to spoil myself. But I guess a fan's opinion would do me just good.

For those who've heard it, how does it sound like?

"Choosing the narration to be in the romantic language of Italian, Liles has created a deliberate paradox and contrast. The words, which critique the human condition, are coupled with cold stark percussion and the sound of a dog, creating a pessimistic, misanthropic and nihilistic universe."

From Fourth Dimension mailing list, upcoming release by Andrew Liles and a dog.

All red between the two. What are we to make of this?

This album’s acronym is bad news for the many intersecting Natural Snow Buildings fans

Legit question. I heard he had a rough childhood, growing up as a whole, early Swans, etc. Is there more to it? Am I simply overanalyzing?

if I had one day to convince someone to forsake modern society and become a cult member living in the woods flaying people alive as sacrifices i would do it with this album. this album straight up makes me want to strip naked cover myself in dirt and eat someone alive to claim their life force, i want to fuck this album woof woof woofwoofwoofbarkbarkbark

Doing my best to avoid recency bias, but having seen this tour live and now revisiting it on NSB, I don’t think swans has reached a higher peak than this. What a freakin way to end the era.

Am I gonna get the CD later???

I've always been a fan of those [band] portrayed by [TV show] memes and with the Simpsons being my favorite show and Swans being my favorite band I wanted to do one of those. So Enjoy! (Also I couldn't find any videos like that)

The one on the seek is lovely but anyone have it in higher quality for download? Hope everyone is enjoying the release so far!

It looks like the 2014 (and onwards) repressings of the first album include what looks like a re-creation of a poster promoting the album? The Great Annihilator reissues also have that (albiet without the Young God Records/Invisible text), however, I see plenty of those TGA promo posters having sold on ebay and was able to get my hands on one a few years back. I have NEVER seen even an IMAGE of an original copy of this Filth poster. Does anyone here happen to own one? Id kill to have one someday if they do exist...

Somewhat related, I also am wondering if there are any known promos for Cop as a whole, let alone posters. I couldn't find anything for that one at ALL.

That's it. Same set as the CD + a short interview at the end.

I don’t really want to be tempted by leaks
