Click here Howlin' Wuelf Media Dear Greg Swans will be undertaking their first round of North American touring celebrating the August 28 release of the 2 CD set The Seer, the second new studio album from Swans since their reactivation by band primum mobile Michael Gira in 2010 after a 14 year hiatus. The touring line-up is: Michael Gira - guitar, voice (original Swans); Norman Westberg - guitar (original Swans); Christoph Hahn - guitar (mid period Swans and most Angels Of Light); Phil Puleo - drums, percussion, dulcimer etc etc (final Swans tour and most Angels); Chris Pravdica - bass and gadgets (Flux Information Sciences / Services/ Gunga Din); Thor Harris - drums, percussion, vibes, dulcimer, curios, keys, etc etc... (Angels / Shearwater). Opening act on all dates is Xiu Xiu. I'm hoping you'll consider advancing this show with a feature, CD review or advance blurb. The Seer was recorded by the touring line-up at Studio P4 and Andere Baustelle in Berlin, by Kevin McMahon and at Marcata Studio, Gardiner, NY, by Kevin McMahon. Additional recording was done at Trout Recording, Brooklyn, NY, engineered by Bryce Goggin. The album was mixed by Kevin McMahon at Marcata, produced by Michael Gira. Gira says of the new album, "The Seer took 30 years to make. It's the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I've ever made, been involved in or imagined.
