Nevertheless, joy is in the air! Though numerous Swans tours have been either cancelled or postponed, and the future remains uncertain, we have devised a few ways to keep things interesting and solvent until something opens up again and we can get back to making music. - Inevitably, we've made some Swans Covid masks, and they're available here.

Enjoy! - younggodrecords.com is offering everything at the site at a 20% discount (the masks excepted and the DVD mentioned below excepted) from July 24 through August 31. Just enter the discount code "Minus Something" during check out. In addition, the 2XCD of my personal favorite Swans album of the 4 albums made between 2010 - 2016, The Glowing Man, is available for only $5. Due......
