Swans new live album - Live Rope is monumentally insane. Leaving Meaning and The Beggar were very good albums imho, but I sensed that the ageing Gira was mellowing, and getting ready for retirement. But this 2CD 150min Motherfucker presents a ferocious, reinvigorated 70 year old Gira. (Sheesh, what's there to be angry about in 2024?) 3 tracks from recent albums are nearly unrecognizeable in reworked forms (including a 53min The Beggar!), and 3 new tracks perhaps hint at the new studio album coming soon. One thing is for certain: Swans is still a formidable, mighty beast. This live document is breathtaking. I cannot fucking wait for the new studio album.
