Two pieces were created and performed in the studio ('Red Yellow', 'The Merge').\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In all cases the material began with me sitting in my office with an acoustic guitar, singing and dreaming about what would become of these skeletal songs. I'm blessed to have such a stellar group of musicians to work with live, and through improvisation, endless revisions and an intensity of focus in performance (not to mention endurance), over the course of time the music morphed into what you generally hear on this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This album, coupled with the recent live release,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLive Rope\u003c\/em\u003e, constitutes my final foray (as producer \/ impresario) into the all-consuming sound worlds that have been my obsession for years. We'll do a final tour in this mode towards the end of 2025, then that's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"After that, Swans will continue, so long as I'm able, but in a significantly pared down form. Hints of that direction can be found in a few moments on the current album. In the meantime, my hope is that the music provides a positive and fertile atmosphere in which to dream.\" – Michael Gira \/ Swans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack-listing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
