Swans - Children of God

Stuart features Swans' pivotal record Children of God plus music from extreme-metal duo The Body, spiritual Mancunian jazz from GoGo Penguin and techno-synth-post-rock from Suuns.

Stuart features Swans' pivotal record Children of God, released in 1989 it marks a departure away from the intense noise rock of their first four albums into more melodic songwriting. The juxtaposition of Jarboe's sweet classically trained vocals alongside Michael Gira's rough baritone matches the contrasts in the music between a dirge-like heaviness and ethereal shimmery textures. Plus new music from extreme-metal duo The Body, spiritual Mancunian jazz from Nat Birchall and GoGo Penguin and techno-synth-post-rock from Suuns.
