We never know what to expect with Swans, do we?

The almighty Swans brought their current tour to their hometown of NYC last night (5/18) for a stop at Bowery Ballroom, their first of two sold out shows here. The shows are in support of their massive, intense new album To Be Kind, and much like how Swans played a lot of that album on The Seer tour, Michael Gira & co. are already unleashing new songs on this one, “Frankie M” and “Don’t Go.”

Swans will play Amplifest 2014 on October 4th \m/
