Quite a few records logged repeat listens on our office stereo this year. Here’s one of them:
The Artist/Album: Swans, My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope To the Sky (Young God)
The Vibe: As perfect as not-quite-a-reunion records get, especially if you’re like us–the kind of person who could give a goddamn about the ‘long-awaited return’ of Pavement or the Pixies.
RIYL: Great vengeance and furious anger; what religion does to creative people; artists who bring new meaning to the term “golden years”
