Wayward NYC collective SWANS led by mastermind/multi-instrumentalist
Michael Gira is around for a long time now, actually since 1982.

On 23 June they’ll share their 16th LP, baptized
THE BEGGAR via Young God Records.

The Beggar will come as a double vinyl in a brown chipboard sleeve
with a download card for accessing an additional 44 minutes of music
(a 44-minute piece of music called The Beggar Lover (Three) that is
included on the CD), and as a double CD in a brown chipboard digi-pack.

The first run of 2CD copies purchased via Young God Records will feature
a booklet signed by Gira. The initial run of 2LP copies purchased via Young
God Records will feature a poster signed by Gira.

All info here.

Along with all this news comes an almost 10-minute hypnotic
slo-mo jam called PARADISE IS MINE that gets under your skin
slowly but surely.

Listen.
