Swans Announce New Album ‘The Beggar’, Release New Song ‘Paradise Is Mine’

The follow-up to 2019’s leaving meaning. was recorded and mixed at Candy Bomber Studio in Berlin. It was written and produced by bandleader Michael Gira, engineered by Ingo Krauss, and mastered by Doug Henderson. The record features contributions from recent and former Swans members, members of Angels of Light, as well as “guest Swan” Ben Frost. Jennifer Gira, Lucy Kruger, and Laura Carbone provided backing vocals.

“After numerous pandemic-induced cancellations of tours for the previous Swans album leaving meaning, and an apparent bottomless pit of waiting, waiting, waiting, and the strange disorientation that came with this sudden but interminable forced isolation I decided it was time to write songs for a new Swans album and forget about everything else,” Gira said in a press release. “They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last. When I finally was able to travel, songs in hand, to Berlin to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink. I hope you enjoy the album.”

“It has meant a lot to me to cover ‘From The Morning’,” Let’s Eat Grandma’s Jenny Hollingworth shared in a statement. “I’ve always thought of it as the most hopeful song on Pink Moon and listening to its lyrics about nature showing us the beauty in the light and darkness and how life and death are connected helped me to find acceptance and comfort after loss. Thank you so much to David Wrench for working on it with me.”

The Endless Coloured Ways – The Songs Of Nick Drake will be out July 7 via Chrysalis. Fontaines D.C.’s cover of ‘Cello Song’ accompanied the album’s announcement.
