I've not encountered anything so grotesque and brutal as Swans' early work. Every time I listen again... it's the most amazing thing in the world. I always want to share it... but then, not everyone's as into that kind of thing.

JOB.

CUT OFF THE ARMS. CUT OFF THE HEAD. CUT OFF THE LEGS. GET RID OF
THE BODY. HEARTACHE TO HEARTACHE. JOB TO JOB. DOLLAR TO DOLLAR.
BODY TO BODY. PUS. POISON. BLOOD. SHIT: GET RID OF THE BODY.
HEARTACHE TO HEARTACHE. HEARTACHE TO HEARTACHE.

I'm so glad I started out on their early albums. As much as I like some of their later stuff, they're two completely different eras. I might not have even bothered digging around.

music, swans
