SWANS - My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky

After more than a decade the SWANS are back with a new release coming out this fall (perfect time of year for this come around in my honest opinion). 


The name of the new record has just been announced as "My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky".
This record is supposed to pick up musically where "Soundtracks for the blind" left off  as well as some Angels of Light influence mixed in for good measure. 




My Father will feature guest artists Devandra Banhart, Bill Rieflin, and Grasshopper of Mercury Rev. 




The album is currently being mixed by Micheal Gira and Bryce Goggin at trout recordings and will be out this fall on Young God Records.


You can hear a demo version of one of the new tracks entitled "No Words / No Thoughts" by visiting the SWANS myspace page.
