LIVE ROPE

Originally released in November 2024 as a physical only, limited edition physical boxset, Swans' 'Live Rope' is now being made on CD at retail. A document of the band's US/EU 2023-24 live tours, this material laid the blueprint for the band's most recent studio album, 'Birthing', released May 2025. Spanning almost three hours of trance-inducing melodies that morph into dense walls of sound, the album is anchored by Gira's unmistakable vocals and crafted with longtime collaborators on lap steel, bass, mellotron and dynamic percussion. Gira proclaims the album was forged 'with soul-lacerating commitment and relentless pursuit of our own truth through sound.'.
