Expansive and deeply meditative, ‘leaving meaning.’ marks a new phase in the ever-evolving world of Swans. Released as the band’s fifteenth studio album, the record follows 2016’s ‘The Glowing Man’ and introduces a different creative structure shaped by Michael Gira. Rather than relying on a fixed lineup, the album brings together a shifting group of collaborators whose distinct voices and sensibilities help shape the arrangements. The result is a work that feels both intimate and vast, where slowly unfolding compositions build from delicate passages into immersive waves of sound that emphasize atmosphere, patience, and emotional depth.

Across the album, Swans explore atmosphere and restraint with a renewed sense of space and openness. Contributions from artists such as Anna and Maria von Hausswolff, Ben Frost, The Necks, Baby Dee, and Jennifer Gira add layers of texture that enrich the record’s contemplative tone. Gira’s songwriting moves between fragile acoustic moments and hypnotic crescendos, allowing the music to breathe while maintaining the emotional intensity that defines Swans’ work. With ‘leaving meaning.’, Swans craft a reflective and spiritually searching album that continues the band’s long tradition of transformation and reinvention, where collaboration and intuition guide the creation of powerful, immersive soundscapes.
