      this album in particular has a level of minimalism to it in many spots, and a few of the tracks break traditional rules of production and mixing, but it works because of the intent.
      so basically, there needs to be intent, and i think a minimalist approach to making music is a very good way of honing that for yourself

      @ruxo2908 21 день тому

      Imma go on a quick yap sesh but i see this song as the end of someones life via taking it themself. I see the whole album as the last days of a depressed person before they take their own life. I find it sad with the sad chord progression and the incredibly depressing lyrics Jamie Stewart lays out. especially with the scary but hard to listen to (emotionally) synth sounds. at the very end where the synths explode as i think they represent the moment the suicide happens via hanging, just like Ian Curtis. This song could even represent the last moments of Ian Curtis. Even if or if not its incredibly heartbreaking and i dont usually listen to this on itself cause of the power it has over me. but yea thats my explanation of the song and i would love to hear yours!

Swans was too loud for me to go "Play the song called Shit Shit!" between songs. Oh yeah, and remember Pitchfork? If you ever saw a tongue velcroed to someone's balls, that was them over this album
