Alla fine mi pare sia già scemato.
E mi pare anche "il migliore da To Be Kind" io stesso l'abbia detto già troppe volte, per altri dischi.
E' tutto un dejà-vu Michael Gira dai. A mo' basta, mi dispiace per sanzen
Swans
Re: Swans
anche per me un po' è calato alla distanza,ma rimane sempre ampiamente sopra la media delle uscite mainstream mensili,nonostante la formula sia sempre quella.io comunque a Milano a novembre ci sarò,anche e soprattutto per quello che hanno fatto nel passato.
Re: Swans
Lunedì ero a Ferrara per la prima delle due date italiane dell'ultimo tour degli Swans con l'attuale formazione.Ancora una volta posso dire di non essere rimasto deluso dalla resa live di questa band,nonostante come diceva Afx,Birthing è un po' calato alla distanza.Sarà che la formula da anni è sempre quella,e quindi ogni tanto comincia ad affiorare stanchezza ed una certa prevedibilità.Detto questo,avercene di album come Birthing,anche soltanto per la mole di musicisti coinvolti nella sua realizzazione.Il live degli Swans è stato anticipato da un set di una mezz'ora scarna di Jessica Moss,violinista canadese,un felice connubio tra classica e drone music.I brani proposti da Michael Gira,come al solito,fanno fatica ad essere ricordati nella trasposizione live rispetto agli originali in studio,talmente sono stati ampliati,modificati,stravolti ad ogni esibizione.Una nota di merito in particolare alla stupenda The merge,con le sue allucinanti e violente sfuriate,ed alla malinconica ed inedita The end of forgetting.Al merch mi sono fatto autografare da Gira il doppio di Live Rope (sempre molto disponibile e gentile lui).Speriamo che ci sia un proseguo magari con una nuova veste.

“In 2010 I made the decision to reconvene my band, Swans, which I had, years earlier, killed out of frustration, disappointment and exhaustion. Now, I saw a light, a way forward for the music, and I decided to pursue it. Neither I, nor my collaborators in sound had any idea how things would eventually unfold, but it felt necessary and right, so we followed the music where it led. Turns out there was and is an audience for our music, which is often less than accessible in the popular sense of the term, but proved to be nevertheless compelling to a growing cadre of folks seeking the kind of unique experience we have offered. I believe we reached some pretty tremendous highs along the way, where the music became a raging, sentient autonomous beast that played us (and the audience/listener), rather than the reverse. That was the goal all along, to lose ourselves in the swirl. It took a lot out of us, physically and psychically to reach the highest plateaus, but once there, there was nothing on earth like it, and I’m glad we did it. Now this phase is finished. There’s nowhere else to take it, but we seem to have ended on a particularly high note with our final tour of this (now passing) Swans era, and I believe these current recordings convey the sensations and experience of the unique world we forged. For the next phase, I’m moving Swans into something with a decidedly more humble and intimate musical palette, but here now I offer my praise to the righteous group of humans, the musicians that made our final foray into the sonic ether a reality: Norman Westberg, Dana Schechter, Phil Puleo, Larry Mullins, Kristof Hahn, Christopher Pravdica...and I was in there flailing somewhere too. “ - Michael Gira / Swans
