So the conclusion is that the success of Gira & Swans is purely a function of stubbornness: They just kept playing what they were going to play whether anyone showed up to watch or not, and eventually the rest of the world gave up and knew the Swans and their music weren't going away.

Essentially, yes.

I can't believe I just called an album where an old man frantically screams ayayayayovig the album of the decade and still agree with it. Swans are just genius.

Noise pioneers , god i hate that term ,Swans are a great band that can make a cacophony sound uplifting but to hone in on that aspect alone means you just don't 'get' them .

@giosin8711 9 лет назад

+Brian Dempsey I agree. That term is silly. Swans are pushing the boundaries of music, musicianship, and art in many levels. They are not, under any circumstances, a "noise" band, they are a window to the endless territory of the meaningful experiences in life.

Giovanni Sinistra Have you not heard Filth?

@Sighbot 6 лет назад

A band isn't represented by a few albums they make, but rather their whole discography. Swans has an otherworldly sound, ranging from industrial and abrasive like Filth and Cop, to some more goth rock-like music from White Light From The Mouth of Infinity.

Far from Pioneers in noise tho, Merzbow, Big Black, Sonic Youth, Einsturzende Neubauten all predated predated the Swans EP (Which is nothing impressive compared to other No-Wave bands and was not really noise) but the basis for noise rock where layed by the Velvet Vnderground and Lou Reed in the 60s 70s, made huge impact, but pioneer is disregarding the ones doing half a decade, a decade, even centuries if you boil it down to musique Concrete which is the root
