Swans

Fuse Music Round-up: The Year in Alternative Music … So Far

There have been three pop LPs this year that I’ve really been digging: they are gloriously wacky.

By: Austin W. Filed Under: Featured, Music, Review, Rock Tagged: Angel Guts : Red Classroom, Benji, Carla Bozulich, Deathconsciousness, Have a Nice Life, Hot Dreams, Nikki Nack, Sun Kil Moon, Swans, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Timber Timbre, To Be Kind, Xiu Xiu

CD Review: Swans — “To Be Kind” is Some Kind of a Masterpiece

I love an album that ends with a bang – and The Swans’ To Be Kind ends with four.

By: Austen R Walsh Filed Under: Featured, Review, Rock Tagged: Swans, To Be Kind
