Swans were the band what changed me irrevocably.
For truly, I have no idea how my life might have turned out, had I never heard their music.
While I reckon I bought Filth first, Feel Good Now is the album I really swooned for.
Time-vast, rapturous, and passionate, it's an album I still find rife with heavy magic, despite having initially listened to it more than sixteen years ago.
Regardless of which LP you end up beginning with, STAY AWAY FROM CIRCUS MORT!!!
I'm fucking serious, dude, it's one of the most horriblest goddamn records of all time!
What is Norman Westberg doing these days? Remember seeing him open for Swans as part of a pop group called Sugarsmack or something back in, like, 1992.
My seventeen year old self was extremely disappointed.
