Angels of Light - Everything Is Good Here / Please Come Home
(2003)
(For sample purposes only)
"While his countless post-punk contemporaries wallow in self-misery and miserable poetry, Michael Gira - the former leader of avant-noise-droners Swans - creates a ruptured synthesis of blues, folk, and rock with his new acoustic-based group." - SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY
This is the third Angels of Light album to be released in limited edition on Important. Like the first two, it is limited to 500 copies on deluxe double virgin vinyl. According to Michael Gira, this album "started, innocently enough, with the intent of being a simple collection of well-written songs performed by the musicians who played them live for the last few years, with the addition of a few acoustic songs, lightly colored. Instead, as things often seem to go around here, I ended up saturating every available molecule of the recording tape with sound, then hacked, cut, poured sonic fertilizer/salt on the resultant wounds, and it finally metastasized into this raging/weeping beast, which in the end succeeded in slowly biting off my head, leaving this album behind as evidence."
