SWANS SEVENTEENTH STUDIO ALBUM, BIRTHING
OUT 30 MAY 2025 VIA MUTE / YOUNG GOD RECORDS ON TRIPLE VINYL / DOUBLE CD & DIGITALLY
SWANS have announced details of a European / UK tour in autumn, following the release of their seventeenth studio album, Birthing, out via Mute / Young God Records (N America) on 30 May 2025.
The tour, which starts in Leipzig on 23 October will be the last “big sound” Swans tour, with a line-up of: Michael Gira, Kristof Hahn, Dana Schechter, Larry Mullins, Phil Puleo, Christopher Pravdica, and Norman Westberg.
Birthing will be released on triple vinyl (in a brown chipboard sleeve, double CD (in a brown chipboard digi-pack), and digitally. Initial pressings of the triple vinyl and CD editions will come with a bonus DVD featuring ‘Swans Live 2024 (Rope) The Beggar’, a live concert film directed by Marco Porsia from the last Swans US tour, plus Christopher Nicholson’s documentary from Michael Gira’s solo tour in 2022 entitled ‘I Wonder If I’m Singing What You’re Thinking Me To Sing’.
“The material contained in this album was largely developed over the course of a yearlong Swans tour, during 2023 – 2024 (‘The Healers’, ‘I Am a Tower’, ‘Birthing’, ‘Guardian Spirit’, ‘Rope’, and ‘Away’), then recorded and further orchestrated and rearranged in the studio. Two pieces were created and performed in the studio (‘Red Yellow’, ‘The Merge’).
