Swans – Body To Body Job To Job

$20.00
“As an alternate peek at the band at work during their astonishingly extreme early years, though, this is true manna for Swans fanatics, if not even close to essential for most others. Following no specific chronological order, crisp studio performances rub up against near-mono club performance pieces (“Red Sheet,” from an early CBGB show, has Gira raging “Get out!” over a particularly coruscating guitar), while the various loops, nearly all percussion-based, must have added even more to the feeling of oppressive power during live shows. It’s definitely interesting to hear how variety, albeit at times of only slight degree, turns up as the band progresses; Gira’s howling on 1985’s “I’ll Cry for You” stands out from the music more, and has a little more control to it, than earlier death marches like “We’ll Hang for That.” This said, some things are uniquely Swans, namely lyrics about power, control, death, and revulsion (best song title of the lot being “Mother, My Body Disgusts Me”) over usually sludgy, harrowing rides through an extreme-rock hell; what would be tedious or laughable in other bands, though, always has a dark, invigorating appeal in the hands of Gira and company, even on outtakes like these.” – allmusic.com
