Following Michael Gira’s disbanding of Swans, Angels of Light released 'We Are Him' in 2007—now reissued on Young God and Mute Records as the first of the reissue series. Backed by Akron/Family alongside collaborators like Kristof Hahn, Bill Rieflin, and Julia Kent, the album blends folk, gothic country, and cinematic post-punk. Written and recorded swiftly—principally in one week—the songs grew richer through contributions that fleshed out Gira’s vision, yielding a record both intimate and expansive.

Addressing themes of survival, family, and faith, 'We Are Him' balances urgency and reflection. Opener "Black River Song" flows with haunting warmth before the title track ignites in raw emotional clarity. Songs like "My Brother’s Man" and "Not Here / Not Now" reveal spiritual heartbreak, while "Sunflower’s Here To Stay" and "Sometimes I Dream I’m Hurting You" add glimmers of Americana sweetness. At once rugged and poetic, the album is a luminous chapter in Gira’s post-Swans journey—deeply rooted, yet reaching for transcendence.
