The 1980s' infamous 'loudest band on the planet' morphed repeatedly until collapsing exhausted, broken, and dispirited in the late 1990s. Swans returned triumphantly in 2010 to top end-of-year polls and achieve feted status among fans and critics alike as the great survivors and latter-day statesmen of the underground scene. Throughout, Gira's desire has remained to create music of such intensity that the listener might forget flesh, get rid of the body, exist as pure energy--transcendent--inside of the sound. Through these pages, the musicians responsible tell the tale of one of the most significant bands of the US post-punk era. Drawing on more than 125 original interviews, Swans: Sacrifice And Transcendence is the ultimate companion to Swans and their work from the 1980s to the present day."--Amazon.com. 610 20 $a Swans (Musical group) 600 10 $a Gira, M. $q (Michael), $d 1954- 650 0 $a Rock groups $z United States $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Rock groups $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rock musicians $z United States $v Interviews. 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10BFE67E73B211E9B17D2A1797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
