Swans have announced a North American tour for 2024. The anticipated tour kicks off on April 12 in Washington D.C. with additional stops in Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Salt Lake City and Boston. It concludes on May 17 in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets will go on sale Friday, December 8 via the band’s website. Check out the full list of dates below.
The band released their latest album The Beggar earlier this year via Young God Records. The album was recorded and mixed at Candy Bomber Studio, Berlin, engineered by Ingo Krauss and mastered by Doug Henderson at Micro-Moose, Berlin. The album was written and produced by Michael Gira and features contributions from recent and former Swans, members of Angels of Light, as well as Guest Swan Ben Frost.
Gira spoke about making the record, saying “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. They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last.”
The LP follows their 2019 release, Leaving Meaning.
