It’s no big secret: we love Michal Gira. Not only do we love him recently for Angels of Light and Young God (the label responsible for such artists as Devendra Banhart and Akron/Family), but we also love him for recently “reactivating” his Swans project by announcing a fall tour and a new album (TMT News). The album, Swans’ first since 1997’s Soundtracks For The Blind, is currently being mixed at Trout Recordings and has been titled My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky. It features guest spots from Devendra Banhart, Bill Rieflin (drummer for REM), and Grasshopper of Mercury Rev.
