Swans The Glowing Man
The last album by the line-up Michael Gira formed in 2010 is its most composed: prayers shaped by a medieval text, a lyric from 1982 and two farewell songs.

Swans' third album since the 2010 reunion grew out of 18 months on the road: ten songs, two hours, a 34-minute centrepiece and nothing wasted.
