Swans return with 'Birthing', an album born from the raw intensity of their 2023–2024 world tour and sculpted through months of live evolution and studio reconstruction. Released via Mute and Young God Records, 'Birthing' continues Michael Gira's vision of immersive, ritualistic sound. What began as stark acoustic sketches was gradually transformed into colossal compositions through the band’s collaborative alchemy. The result is an album that feels both intimate and apocalyptic—familiar in its Swans-ian weight, yet rich with shifting textures and emotional clarity.

Initial deluxe editions of the vinyl and CD include a bonus DVD featuring Swans' 'Live 2024 (Rope) The Beggar', a concert film by Marco Porsia, and 'I Wonder If I’m Singing What You’re Thinking Me To Sing', a solo tour documentary by Christopher Nicholson. With 'Birthing', Gira signals the closing of a chapter—hinting at future paring down while still unleashing one of the band’s most enveloping sonic journeys to date. Engineered at Soundfabrik Berlin and mixed by Ingo Krauss at Candy Bomber Studio, this is not just an album, but an atmosphere—offering fertile ground for reflection, transformation, and, as always, sonic obliteration.
