听Swans乐队的音乐只会加深对残酷人生的认识，或者说当人越来越嚼不出人生之味怎么办？我们体会了一切事物与梦想的格格不入的被遗弃感，我们也体会了爱情被埋葬的可笑，我们更体会了野心终被证明渺小的荒诞。世界既不是穷人的乐园，也不是富人的乐园。我们还在勉强地活下去，是因为我们还在幻想，是因为我们明白死亡还没有马上来到。After years of pursuing Angels of Light and recording and producing a diverse roster of artists for his Young God label, Michael Gira has reconvened his legendary group Swans.
