SWANS ~ WHITE LIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF INFINITY / LOVE OF LIFE Three LP Box Set.

Original 1991/2 U.K. pressing released on the Young God Records label YGLP3 / YGLP5.

Description :

Rare and hard to find box set featuring two classic Swans albums : the double White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity and Love Of Life.

Swans are an influential American post-punk band initially active from 1982 to 1997, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. The band was one of the few groups to emerge from the early 1980s New York No Wave scene and stay intact into the next decade. Formed by Gira in 1982, the Swans employed a shifting lineup of musicians until their dissolution in 1997. Besides Gira, the only other constant members were keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Jarboe from 1984 to 1997, and semi-constant guitarist Norman Westberg. The band was noted for droning vocals and strange instrumentation.

Gira's disillusionment with their Uni/MCA label exploits led to White Light from the Mouth of Infinity (1991), a successful blending of earlier hard rock and later pop styles. Produced by Gira, the album blended acoustic rock, blues and hypnotic guitar noise successfully, resulting in an album more complex than anything they had released in the past. This album was followed by Love of Life (recorded by Martin Bisi in 1992), and the EP single Love of Life/Amnesia, taking the group even farther into experimentation.
