这是一件疯狂的、富有吸引力的、极具野心的、与众不同的艺术作品。 ——NME对《To Be Kind》的评价
2015年2月,作为《觉》音乐+艺术节的预热演出,美国传奇摇滚乐团Swans受邀来到中国,并将在上海和北京两地作专场演出。众所周知Swans是一支不断挑战后朋、实验噪音和前卫音乐疆界的传奇乐团。他们在纯器乐音乐方面的创新更是影响了一代后摇乐队:Godspeed You! Black Emperor、Mogwai以及Isis等等。这是Swans创团至今首次踏上中国的土地,相信所有的乐迷都会抓住这次难能可贵的观赏机会。
早在80年代,作为纽约地下界No Wave运动中的骨干分子,Swans就和Sonic Youth、Lydia Lunch齐名,在后朋、噪音、实验等领域都占有一席之地。1997年乐队解散,灵魂人物Michael Gira以The Angel Of Light之名转投实验民谣领域,并继续经营极具性格的自家厂牌Young God(旗下拥有Akron/Family、Devendra Banhart、David Coulter等优秀乐队)。而出人意料的是,十三年后,昔日黑暗天鹅王子Gira再次化身Swans重现江湖。
多数老牌乐队重组不过是为了捞钱,但Swans满血复活后的状态实则惊人。 正如Gira所说,重组Swans并不是出于怀旧之情,而是一个全新的开始。复出当年低调发行的《My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky》的确证实了Gira的野心。专辑延续了Swans极简暴力的音乐美学,加入了更多实验性的因子,而丰富的旋律和考究的音色则更显迷幻和前卫的特质,从头到尾依然是Gira永不妥协的重口味。对于新乐迷来说,Swans的新作品相比早期更入时、更大气,而对于自《Swans Are Dead》苦等了13年的老乐迷来说,听到的则是更多的惊喜。在各大音乐媒体的一片叫好声中,Swans堪称当年最靠谱的复出乐队。卷土重来的Swans的每一张专辑质量都相当之高,在离2012年的传奇之作《The Seer》发行不到两年,最新双CD力作《To Be Kind》在今年上半年重磅出击,横扫各大评论网站,在挑剔的Pitchfork上拿到了9.2的高分,而Swans也凭借这张新作在创团三十多年来首次在美国和欧洲荣登Top 40榜单。
Swans是一支令人琢磨不透的实验先锋乐队,尽管老牌,但是他们听上去一点不像是从80年代穿越而来,反而更新鲜,更具实验性,完全没有年代感。虽然他们的音乐对于大多数乐迷来说不会是轻松的听觉体验,但相信你聆听过后,依然会肯定他们的音乐能力。2015年2月,让新老乐迷在Swans演出现场相聚!

SPLIT WORKS Presents:
A Pre-JUE | MUSIC + ART Performance
with
SWANS
“Now it’s clearer once and for all that the continuing existence of this group is reason enough alone to believe in the exceptional potential of music, not just to expand our minds but to fuel our hearts. We’re on a ladder to God, and Swans are leading the way”
- Drowned in Sound
This February, Split Works invites you to a pre-JUE audience with Swans. The band that laid the groundwork for post rock stalwarts Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, and Isis, will alight on Shanghai and Beijing for debut shows in a land where post rock reigns emperor of the underground. You do not want to miss the massive, raw, hypnotic, and all-encompassing energy of Swans.
Swans, led by Michael Gira, formed in 1982 amongst a climate that bred the likes of Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch. They spearheaded the No Wave movement before disbanding in 1997. After a more than ten-year hiatus, Michael Gira gathered Norman Westberg, Christoph Hahn, Phil Puleo, Thor Harris, and Christopher Pravdica together and created the albums My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky (2010) and 2012’s The Seer.
In May 2014, Swans came out with their third album since reuniting – To Be Kind. The record includes a score of guests including St. Vincent, Little Annie, Cold Specks, and previous Swans member Bill Reiflin. To Be Kind shows a more tender side to Swans, while still encompassing dark undertones and hypnotic trance-like sounds the band is known for. It is the first Swans album to break the top 40 charts in both Europe and the U.S.
“Avant-garde to the extreme, Gira’s music is an all-encompassing experience that somehow affects your entire sensory system. You don’t just hear it or listen to it, but feel it.” - NME
Split Works looks forward to seeing you at Swans as a pre-JUE concert!
