专辑介绍：
The Seer took 30 years to make. It s the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I ve ever made, been involved in, or imagined. But it s unfinished, like the songs themselves. It s one frame in a reel. The frames blur, blend and will eventually fade. The songs began on an acoustic guitar, then were fleshed out with (invaluable) help from my friends, then were further tortured and seduced in rehearsals, live, and in the studio, and now they await further cannibalism and force-feeding as we prepare to perform some of them live, at which point they ll mutate further, endlessly, or perhaps be discarded for a while. Despite what you might have heard or presumed, my quest is to spread light and joy through the world. My friends in Swans are all stellar men. Without them I m a kitten, an infant. Our goal is the same: ecstasy! Michael Gira --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
早年的Swans，便曾被视为一个俨如洪水猛兽的名字。从前他们的作品在性与死亡的命题下，都极尽暴戾、嘈吵、闇黑与痛苦之能事，以音乐来勾勒出Gira的梦魇，引用一个老掉了牙的说法︰听完Swans的唱片会发噩梦。在当年纽约的地下音乐体系（或所谓Noisenik体系），Swans就是这样跟Sonic Youth分庭伉礼。
他们的84年专辑Cop，这张黑胶唱片迄今仍是我的「发泄」极品，还依足封面上的说明"This record is designed to be played at maximum volume"，扭大音量播放。
最早让Michael Gira跟「动听」扯上关系，是他与Swans的女将Jarboe另组成的Side Project组合Skin，87年的一张Blood, Women, Roses专辑的确很美丽动听，流露着Jarboe的古典音乐薰陶，甚至当年被拿来跟This Mortal Coil的声音作相提并论。
其实自Jarboe在86年加入后，她倒为Swans提供了不少「音乐感」——还不要忘记，在89年Swans便曾在附属主流公司MCA旗下的Uni Records推出过一张Michael Gira联同Bill Laswell监制的The Burning World，是他们历来最修饰的专辑——而且Swans亦比Sonic Youth更早加盟主流公司，虽然这是他们跟主流公司的「只此一次」合作──到底Gira又怎会跟一间主流公司得以和平共处呢？
况且他们在之前一年把重玩Joy Division的Love Will Tear Us Apart发表成单曲，那亦是多么触动人心的诠释。
今天Swans已名存实亡多时，Gira现在的身份是Angels Of Light。
2005年，Gira联同他的宠儿Akron/Family现身。Gira的自家厂牌Young God Records在同一天里，便一拼为Angels Of Light及Akron/Family发表了新专辑，实行双管齐下地出击。而Akron/Family便正是Angels Of Light的现任伴奏乐团，好一个音乐小家庭姿态。
