- Swans new album, The Beggar, will be released worldwide June 23, 2023 on Young God Records/Mute. Formats include 2X LP, 2CD, as well as download and stream.
“After numerous pandemic-induced cancellations of tours for the previous Swans album leaving meaning, and an apparent bottomless pit of waiting, waiting, waiting, and the strange disorientation that came with this sudden but interminable forced isolation I decided it was time to write songs for a new Swans album and forget about everything else. They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last. When I finally was able to travel, songs in hand, to Berlin to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink. I hope you enjoy the album!” - Michael Gira

Ok mom just one more song
B ES T COMMENT E VERE

El
This dude put an album in his album
Just realised, "Three" refers to how this is a sequel to the two previous The Body Lovers projects from 1998, the first of which was titled 'Number One Of Three'. So in a way this is completing a 25-year story arc.
Two of three was Look At Me Go on the deluxe edition of My Father
Body haters was 2
@@arnoburtner380 no, 34:13 was a separate project. Michael stated in an interview that Look At Me Go was in essence Number Two of Three
I believe it also refers to the 3 Gira family members that appears during the song: which are Jennifer Gira, Michael himself and his daughter I believe

Fun fact: This one song is longer than any of the first four Swans albums.
and somehow it still feels shorter than cop
@@gabrielcastro6361 lmao
@@gabrielcastro6361 so real that album was tough to get through first listen
No me importa quién la tenga más larga, me estoy aburriendo
Listened to this super fucking high and almost died, cheers
can't wait to hear this on multiple tabs of acid.
"When I finally was able...to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink." 🥺🥺🥺

Thank you. I knew these were pieces I've heard before, but I can't always identify from where.
Thats dope
I think 33:40 is cloud of forgetting
@@barelyabear7956no its the end of unknowning
The Cloud Of Unknowing tubular bells can actually be heard in 2:35
I was nearing the end of the album and I thought that it was a rather short project for Swans and then this song came out lol. 10/10 song my mind left my body and got transported into the titanic submarine while listening to it.
You got crushed did you?😂
a good thought exercise is to imagine what it would be like in that sub when it imploded
@@goldenhogNah. No thanks.
This aged well
Swans still rocking hard after all these years. Thanks for the music.
The seer can finally take a rest as my favorite. This song is insane!
No words. Absolutely floored at this masterpiece. I keep getting lost in it, it’s like it’s own universe.
Swans is an example. Swans is an example of music. An experience. A grisleting, heart-wrenching pulsing menacing machine of soul. Music from above.. and below. As a collective, they are bringing light to the darkness within us.
Michael Gira is proud to finally present you Look At Me Go 2.
the its coming its real interpolation had me quaking
This is like the final boss of Swans songs. Amazing stuff though
Each album has that full on final raid boss with multiple phases.
tool: we have long songs
swans: wtf was said? hold my beggar lover
best song of 2023

Shear brilliance!
I can’t wait for the live gigs in August.
I’m going to Manchester & Leeds.
I can die happy after that.

You guys are weird as shit
Most sane Swans fan
sounds like some ai generated swans lyrics
@@kaos5633Rather most insane Swans lover... love them the most...am nobody's fan... Just a little correction..:) 🎩🦇
WE THE BEST MUSIC
It's a bright sunny day and I'm in a really good mood, deep cleaning my apartment, so why not listen to some new music........... what the, why am I suddenly looking over my shoulder whenever reaching for the cloth, when did it get so gloomy in here?!?
This song might as well be its own separate album, it's quite insane to be honest.
Absurdist beauty for those who morn the death of humanity.
A masterpiece, especially after McCarthys death last week. His latest novel depicted a beautiful end of humankind.
The end of humankind would not be a beautiful thing. Are you jewish or something?
How did the depict the end of mankind?
@@franciscoalmeida9019the main characters of the book are descendants of one of the scientists that helped build the first atomic bomb.
what’s the book name?
@@simunijima3327 the Passenger and Stella Maris
This is probably my favorite long song they’ve made from this revival era
i am scared mr gira
Be not afraid
Michael cera is a really scary guy😢
Listened to the whole album thing. It was pretty cool. But when this piece of music arrived... It was like waking up and finding yourself in an alternate universe, I was almost scared. Bravo.
just listened to this album for the first time, WOW. amazing work, this song shocked me so much, with the sample of the backing vocals on "it's coming it's real" and all the weird sounds and soundscapes. and Gira's vocal delivery on the last part with that groove, it's all so beautiful.
Christmas carol ,the song
Beginning sounds like THX movie theater intro..
😚👌 this is something more than music, it's like the revelation of the life itself open the door through the all senses into a new level of existence.
Exactly....
@@vomeinsamenmadchensophie The whole album its fantastic a 9/10 😀✌️
@@RootEight For me definitely 11/10...:) My favourite band ever, since they started, with all their projects... this one is the most like Angels of Light... but of course very unique as each of all Michael's are...all masterpieces...
@@vomeinsamenmadchensophie indeed It feels like Angels of Light but mix It very well with the last work Leaving Meaning and maybe White Light from the Mouth of Infinity ☺️ nice rating btw 😁, Swans Is maybe close to be my favourite band but King Crimson has that place 😀✌️
This was mind-expanding to witness live.
You mean the song Birthing (contains a beffed-up version of the ending of this plus a whole new song)?
@@victorwhite8356 yep, that is correct. Sampled vocals and huge riff at the end. Thought it was a variation on this, but was in fact 'birthing'.
Staggering work. Art in its purest sense. Can't wait to see them live again in a few weeks. Always a very special event, seeing Swans live. A transcendental experience.
For the longest time I thought this was the whole album bro
This band is brings to life so many remarkable things. The creativity that emanates from it is mind blowing.
Thank you so much for this.
WOW - what an excellent Remix of the parts of the gooooood Swans songs the last year's. Thank you so much!
Saw this live at The Troxy this week. Greatest thing, and show, I’ve ever seen and probably will ever see in my life. Until I’m lucky enough to get to see Swans again.
I was there, incredible show. Very different to the 2017 version of the band. That one was all out sonic assaults and transcendence. While Swans is always next-level live, the version of the band I saw at Troxy in 2023 felt like a transitional band. They are preparing a live album and a new studio album, so undoubtedly they will tour in the not-too-distant future again - I expect that Swans will be a new beast entirely.
Hell yeah, good to hear new stuff.
It's good to hear your new album again！！！Great job！！！
Amazing 👏👏👏
So happy for this release
This is it chief
This was Splendid.
Makes me fucking sick how good this is
and the eyes were closed.. stunning
amazing
Right around 33:00 they're channeling the Doors SO hard...& it fits So well!
Reminds of early Pink Floyd too
Great music! Great experience!
Absolutely glorious
I love you Michael! Thanks for everything!
This, really. Thanks Michael
Glenn Branca would be proud.
Absolutely insane. Loved it. Still can't properly put it into words, but I love how some parts just remind me of The Seer title track.
Omnious. I love that.
absolute mind melt
FOCKING BRILLIANT!!!
It's sad that so many people don't know this is part 3 of Swans sound collages. Part 1 was The Body Lovers. Part 2 is Look at Me Go: th-cam.com/video/wGsHGmd4UyQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm crying, trembling, scared and happy
So glad i found this band this shit it nuts
This is the big one Elizabeth
Such a speechless send off to such a magnificent album
I must say: this is really great, much much more than I can expect.
7:24 I'm pretty sure the sound that comes in here is from the beginning of Helpless Child.
Swans are my favorite❤
Impossible to stop before it ends
another banger, m. gira
The drone section starting at 27:30 pulls the deepest strings inside of me.
I just want to live without any pretense of what's possible for me to experience
Welcome to Swans.
Also recommend Sonic Youth (both New York)
Nice
An universal masterpiece...people that doesn't understand this kind of music,is nothing for me.
TOUR 2023
Toronto ?
Remember Live @ NXNE Dundas Square,
I remember bits of it.
My favorite color is pink also
Swans me fait décoller. Leur musique est véritablement inspirée. Elle est d'une puissance évocatrice rarement égalée. Sans doute que mes molécules vibrent avec les leurs.
This is a really good album
Their Absolute Masterpiece

i am the beggar lover
Swans 2.0
I mean…damn.
Reminds me of Lukasz Mrozinski's "Il Dottore", off the album "Mad Pride".
I love you
So tragic-beauty against the the existential precipice border.
It’s like a horror film for your ears
swans will continue somehow
wait, Michael you had to have experienced some unfinished revelations when deciding where the songs would go. what you did was create a body of work that includes all the angles about that so you can emerge from it in steps and still overcome the parasite. maybe this isn't so bad. i mean i really really just hope i can still live. idk why i would sabotage myself like this im so stupid
The more and more albums i d like to get and less less loney i have to do that
No disrespect to the rest of the song but 4:44 to 6:46 is simply exquisite
Initial thoughts are "erm..." and thats from a long time fan of this band. Though as with all Swans projects, it takes soaking in.
I am becoming
So SWANS is now a Dead Can Dance Variety Show?
Duuuuuude.....what have you done
Soundtracks for the ...
surreptitiously insane
Michael i could have held your hand all the way through this and lived without fear but i let go partway through and idk what to do i messed it up michael you're so beautiful why would i let go im sorry 😞😞 thank you for what i was able to catch, i love you too
maybe theres still hope maybe i can still somehow relax away the bad stuff and the pains
im not feeling good about where im going
are you done you pathetic thing
#2023
This is definitely most like Angels of Light... not Seer... I guess that's the younger generation writing cause who listened them from the begging, it's clear that it's AoLight....may Mr.Michael lives forever....🖤🎩 ThankYoU foR everything you gave us.... best band eveR.. and each album is a brilliant sound and story on it's own of Michael's feeling at the certain period of how he feels... and there's everything of his work through years to be found in pieces.... that's Michael, that's Swans... always new and blowing up release of feelings....🖤.
