Wed Jan 23 2013

Michael Gira's reconstituted Swans—one of the most formidably intense bands of the ’80s—present latest album The Seer, which marries the lurching bombast of the group's early work with the goth-folk atmospherics of frontman Gira's later work with Angels of Light. Quality support comes from sweet-voiced folkie Marissa Nadler on Wed 6, while Thu 7 has the fabulous Devendra Banhart—who recorded for head Swan Michael Gira’s Young God label long before he became an indie-rock household name. Banhart is set to release his new album, Mala, on Nonesuch in March (lest you were wondering, we've heard it and it's exquisite).
