This week we're discussing Birthing, the latest album by Swans. Our history guy and interviewer Tom Osman is filling in for Alex this week to reflect on our recent interview with Michael Gira, as well as take a deep dive into the final massive Swans album we're likely ever going to get. Birthing is as intense as it gets for Swans, so fans will be in for a treat, despite its 2 hour runtime. Be sure to check out all our episodes chronicling Swans' entire discography (episodes 150, 160, and 170), as well as our interview with Michael Gira. Birthing releases on May 30.
