Description

Noise / Rock // Singer/Songwriter Swans are alive. Approximately 13 years after the split of his group, which has been one of the most influential post-punk and new wave bands in the 80s and early 90s, Michael Gira called on his old bandmates to reunite in early 2010. With their following stroke of genius «My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky» in September 2010, they managed to create a mature but still Swans-like record, which has been listed in several top-albums of the year lists and praised by the media in general. They still celebrate the raw and intense sound which brankmarked over a decade of live performed brutality and loundness, blended with pumping basslines hitting you directly in the stomach. Their evoked interplay of succussion and fascination now experiences an intense and glorious rebirth. After dedicating himself to other projects like the recordings of his band Angel Of Light and the work for his label Young God Record, which strongly supported the upcoming weird-folk movement around Devendra Banhart, Michael Gira and his fellows are back together and still experts at what they are doing. After a world tour following the release, Swans went back to the studio in order to record new material for a successor entitled «The Seer». The result is more than two hours of thrilling guitars, mesmerizing drums and Gira's harsh vocals, to be released in summer 2012 on double CD and triple vinyl. As already announced, it will feature guest appearances by such great musicians as Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O, members of Low as well as Akron/Family. Moreover, one can look forward to songs not hesitating to develop their stunning atmosphere in more than half an hour of sound! Swans will be supported by the Swedish singer/songwriter Anna von Hausswolff, who, roughly four years ago, unleashed a doom-laden sound of church organs, droning basses and wild voices. She will be showcasing material from her latest album «The Miraculous» at what is her first ever show in Basel.   Pre-sale starticket.ch CHF 34.- Discount of CHF 5.- with STUcard / colourkey & Kulturlegi (evening box office)
