I was listening to the Swans in the 90s, and I never felt they were abrasive, or uncomfortable.
I don't have much to add, I just felt it was interesting hearing them described through someone else's lens very differently than I would.
When I listen to them I hear beauty, and my childhood.
- JansjoFromIkea 3y agoI'd say some of the post-reunion (?) Swans material is a lot more consistently abrasive/uncomfortable. Most the 90s stuff to me sounds more like... gothy post-punky vibes?
- AndyNemmity 3y agoI would agree that it is much more gothy post-punky vibes to me. The Swans just had a lot of very differing material. Perhaps that's why I don't quite get the description.
- ryukoposting 3y agoThe Swans of my youth is the reunion Swans, so my perspective is probably warped by that. Swans' catalog has a pretty wide gamut of abrasiveness, for sure.
